Baby no name

[girlsname]

Our baby girl was born on Monday and we're still struggling to find a name.

What does everyone think of Harper or Poppy?

Thank you!

There are quite a lot of Poppies around but I like it as a name. Harper brings to mind the Beckhams. My son had no name for a week. We spent a long time getting it right and I love his name. My daughter's name was more rushed and I regret it a bit. Don't rush it, choose something you love.

Oh, and massive congratulations!!! I'm so jealous, love the newborn, squishie stage.

Mine was nameless for 24 days so take your time and try them both out for a few days.
I love Poppy. Harper sounds very American to me (I'm American myself) so as long as you don't mind that, it's lovely in its own way too.

Peyton.

I love Poppy - that is what we have chosen for our little girl due in June. Our other choices were Imogen, Penny or Lola. Good luck deciding on a name and congratulations!

Congratulations! I like Poppy much better than Harper btw.

Both are lovely but if it isn’t feeling right, don’t rush it.

If you like those two how about:
Kera
Flora
Robyn
Casey

I prefer Piper to either of those, and it feels like it might be your style?

Poppy

Congratualtions! I like Poppy (or Polly). Enjoy your newborn cuddles!

Was also going to suggest Piper.

Poppy, definitely.

Harper is too surnamey.

Definitely Poppy out of those 2.

I also thought of Piper. And Pippa. And other flower names like Daisy, Iris, Violet. Penelope could have Poppy as a nickname.

I love Poppy. It's a lovely name. I know a 50 year old Poppy who's a doctor and has always been cool! I know a 15 year old Poppy and no others. It's not that common.

Harper over poppy and just think when she's older you could read her to kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee - great roll model.

I was going to say Piper too. But out of those two-Harper. Poppy I think of a little girl, I only know two adult Poppies and it’s like they don’t suit their name in a weird way, it’s cutesy.

Poppy

Of the two, Harper. Poppy is way too cutesy and just one letter away from Poopy. Congrats btw.

I like both. Would probably edge more towards Harper, only because I have met quite a few Poppies over the years.

My dd had two Poppies in her class (she's 10). We're in Essex. I have one where I work (40 kids). Only Harper I know is Beckham one.

I like Harper best. I know 3 Poppy's all under 4yr old in the SE.

Poppy is lovely. I know an 18 year old Poppy and she's super cool!

Thanks everyone, and thank you for the advice r.e not rushing- it's just so difficult as absolutely everyone keeps asking if we've found a name yet.

I do really love Piper but was worried about it being rude in French???

I like Harper

Friends of mine announced that their daughter was to be called Number 3 until they could decide which name suited her. Would something similar be an answer for inquisitive friends?
