Amelie or Poppy

[user1490278331]

Completely torn by these beautiful names - baby girl is 8 days old, and I feel the pressure of everyone asking what her name is!

Amelie Hope Poppy
or
Poppy Hope Amelie

She was born 10th November, so hours before Remembrance Day. I love poppy, but I already call my big girls pops or popsie sometimes as a general nickname (they have their own specific nicknames too). I feel like I’m taking something special away from them by calling her pops / popsie as her nn. I love nicknames so I wouldn’t just call her Poppy.

I also love the sound of Amelie, and the nickname Milly / mills but we are concerned she will get forever be called Emily or Amelie by mistake, or on the phone her name will be hear incorrectly.

Poppy is so fitting for her birthday, and we had liked Poppy for most of my third trimester, but Amelie came along after she was born.

Amelie seems quite elegant, and Poppy also seems lovely and beautiful in its own way.

Help! I really want to decide on her name now.

I would go Amelie, but both names are fine. What about Poesy or Peony?

Ignore that horrible poster OP.

I've always had a soft spot for the name Poppy, I think it's gorgeous!

Amelie by a country mile

I prefer Poppy.

Amelie

Poppy is our girls name but I've a feeling I'm having a boy. I'm a redhead and partner 25 years in the army so Poppy seems fitting. As for boys names I have no idea.

What would you call interesting?

Both gorgeous by the way and so pretty.

I'm afraid I find both very dull from overuse.

If I had to choose, probably Amelie. But I think it will start to sound dated soon.

Good luck.

Both gorgeous names. There’s an absolutely darling Poppy in the close family so I’m ever so fond of the name because she’s such a lovely loving little girl.
Amelie is really pretty and may be a better choice given your current nn of your other DCs?

Amelie Poppy Hope / Amelie Hope Poppy - both beautiful x

Amélie, but I would use the accent.

Poppy and Hope together don't look right to me written down, I don't know if it's too many ps?

Amelie Hope Poppy sounds better

Amelie. Poppy is so wet and infantile.

Amelie Hope Poppy

It’s very pretty. Poppy is too babyish for an adult.

Amelie is more elegant and works better on an adult.

Poppy is cute, but a little infantile.

Both really overused, sorry that’s not what you went to hear. I don’t like Millie, there are 100s of Millie’s as all the Amelia’s and Emelia’s are also Millie, I think it’s really bland.

Poppy is twee, out of the two I would choose Amelie and not shorten it to Millie.

Amelie Poppy :)

P.S

Both very pretty names

Absolutely love Poppy it's such a beautiful name.

Of the two, Amelie.

Poppy is babyish, cutesy and twee. In your circumstances, fine as a middle name.

I have a soft spot for Amelie (I adore the film), though I can see some issues with the pronunciation or people thinking it's Amelia/Emily.

I remember liking Poppy as a teen but it's become very popular in recent years. I would be concerned about it becoming a "dated" kind of name in the future.

Overall I prefer Amelie.

Amelie

I'd spell Amélie the original French way
