Sibling name to go with Poppy

Hi all

I have a gorgeous 2.5 year old DD, Poppy (middle name Olivia), and we've just found out we're having another little girl.

We don't want another floral name, and we're struggling to find any names we both just love. Poppy was named well before she was born, having found out we were expecting and downloading a baby app it said the baby was the size of a poppy seed, and it just stuck from there that if it was a girl it was meant to be. We don't have that this time, so we're struggling a bit! I love Elsie and Emmie but husband has vetoed it.

Other names we have on our list:

'Millie'
'Sophie'
'Evie'

Middle name will likely be Rose.

Would love recommendations - I'm scouring this board along with film credits/book characters, you name it! I feel like we'll just see one one day and we'll know, but so far not happening.

Thanks all :)

My DS' have sisters called Poppy and Isabella. (One of them has Rose as a middle name, I'm fairly sure it's Isabella)

The Poppy I grew up with had a sister called Sally from the ballet

I don’t know if I know pp… but my dd’s are poppy and Isabella rose ☺️

Not a flower name and not a name starting with P or ending in -y/-ie.
Rose is overused as a middle name.

Not Darcie - overused and on its way out.

I have a Poppy and have 2 more children who were going to be Ivy and Daisy if they were girls so that doesn't help 😂

I like

Charlotte (love this so classic, although some say boring ?)

Isobel / Isabelle think this sounds lovely with Poppy although I can't imagine a baby Isobel?!

Matilda / Tilly

Madeleine / Maddie

Ava

I don’t know if you’re concerned about popularity but there are soooo many Evies/Sophie’s and Millie’s and they all have Rose as a middle name.
