Grace or Poppy?

[Jukla]

Which do you prefer?

Sorry 'dull and overused'

I prefer Grace. X

Both dull and overdone, but I prefer Grace. Poppy is weak sounding.

Grace is much better longterm. Poppy is really cute as a little kid, not so much for an adult

Grace

Don't like Poppy. I associate it with being a pet's name, not a person's.

Both gorgeous.

Grace. It's a classic (if overused these days) and Grace Kelly is the epitome of class.
Poppy is totally of the moment and I dislike flower names generally as I find them a bit wet, so Grace is always the winner for me.

Poppy.

Of the two, Grace. It's not my favourite name but it's heaps better than the twee, cutesy, babyish Poppy.

Wow there is a reason not to click on a thread when your own daughter's name is one of the choices !
I have a Poppy and she really suits her name, strong and vibrate young woman that she is. However she was given Suzanne as a second name should she decide she didn't like it as she became adult. 27 now and still a Poppy.

Poppy

Groppy

Poppy

@30hours - of course I can. I can think of lots of names that are only given to 5 people a year, does it mean I like them? Absolutely not.

We are drowning in Grace's in our neck of the woods, there are literally about 8 in my dds school year.

Poppy is nice but hard to imagine on a professional woman.

Grace is lovely and yes very popular but Poppy is a bit twee. Petunia and Voilet are much nicer flowery names (please don't use Daffodil as offered on a previous thread 😐).

Petunia???

For flower names, how about Iris?

I prefer Grace. It is more versatile, less girly. I think it suits a baby, girl and woman. Poppy is a bit too cutesy, is anyone going to take a Poppy seriously? Plus Poppy is becoming pretty trendy atm, which means it is at risk of becoming really dated in a few years.

Grace has also been very trendy recently (might be worth looking up on ons lists) so will probably start to sound dated as it falls out of fashion.

Personally I'd choose a more timeless classic name that isn't so popular.

Both names are very pretty. You can't go wrong.

I would rather be called Grace if I had to choose as an adult so I would probably go for Grace. But I do love Poppy.

What do you prefer OP? After all, it's your decision and baby...

Also popular names are popular because they are nice. Unpopular names are rare for a reason.

I'm not sure if Brian or Alan were ever nice, but they were certainly popular.
Same for Tracy and Sharon.

Ok, so Grace is currently ranked 15th and Poppy 13th so she would be very unluckily to be one of ‘multiple’ in her class. Yes, they are popular, but what some posters fail to realise is that unusual names are not for everyone. Also, so many people are trying to be ‘original’ nowadays it’s starting to backfire! I had a mother in baby group boasting about how ‘unusual’ her wonderful daughters name is only to have another mother rock up half an hour later with a child with the same name. Her face was a picture. Your little Persephone could be one of two in her class yet there could only be one Emily! Just go with what you like and don’t focus on all the ‘oh couldn’t you think of anything more interesting eye roll’ crap!
FWIW I prefer Grace.
