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 :)

I think Sophia sounds better with Poppy than Sophie. I wouldn't go for another name ending in ee sound but that's just me.

Love Poppy and Isobel

Congratulations ❤️

The midwife who delivered my DS was called 'Eden' and I have fallen in love with this name if we ever have a girl in the future.

Also love

What about Sabrina?

I love the name Poppy but I wasted it on a cat. Her sibling was Pickles! 😹

Molly, Cara, Hannah, Lucy, Maggie, Bella, Martha.

Please not Evie. If the bunch of neighbours' kids were playing out in our road and I shouted the name Evie at least six would come running. The rest seem to be Ava.

@imnotwhoyouthinkiam sadly know, although that sounds an exciting set up! Just a little boy ☺️

Can I please gently suggest a different middle name? You might as well give her no middle name, as choose Rose. It is soooo over-used and uninspired.

There are millions of (simple, if that’s what you’re after) names to choose from. Smile
