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 :)

Poppy and...

Lucy
Edith nn Edie
Naomi
Kate
Meredith nn Merry
Eliza
Tabitha

My favourite combination is Poppy and Edith.

Like pps have said, Rose is a very (very very very very) common middle name. If you want another plant name in there somewhere (which is a lovely connection between them) I would pick Iris or Daisy as less popular.

Edith Daisy is lovely.

I know a Poppy with a sister Georgia, I think they go nicely without being matchy and are both lovely. I also like Harriet / Hattie and Eliza.

But I prefer Poppy paired with a non y/ie name:
Poppy and Anna
Poppy and Emma
Poppy and Abigail
Poppy and Florence
Poppy and Eleanor
Poppy and Beth
Poppy and Seren
