Poppy?

[GoldenOldies]

Thoughts? ❤️

This may not matter to you but it's a popular name atm with little ones, in case you didn't already know. My DC5 knows a few.

A bit too cutesy for my taste. Suits a little girl but not a grown woman.

I’ve only known very cool Poppys.
Great name!

I don't like it, especially not "Pops" as a short form. But then again I dislike all forms of "popping" - popping to the shops, popping things in the oven, popping on a jumper - so am probably not a good person to ask in this situation!

I've always loved this name. It's like sunshine. I think it is lovely on an adult as well. And I'm a fan of traditional solid names. All my children have names that have consistently been commonly used. I'm 20 years we'll be used to lots of adult poppies and nobody will think twice about it.

I like it, its an upbeat name and one of those that is easy to spell and say.
Unfortunately it was ruined for me by a Poppy in my daughters school who misspelt it once in yr1 and was then called Poopy/Poops until secondary school.

I don't like it, it's ok on a small child I suppose but on an adult it's sounds wrong to me.

Pops is dreadful. There's a really annoying woman on tiktok that is Poppy and gets called Pops by her partner whilst they do irritating things...very much put me off. 😅

Two twee and cutesy for my liking. Also popular and always paired with the filler middle names of Grace/May/Rose. Done to death.

Beautiful. I know an adult Poppy and a baby Poppy both suit the name perfectly.

I work with a Poppy and when typing it I have to triple check I haven’t put Poopy instead of Poppy. Sometimes this is due to autocorrect on my phone. I never made this association until I had to type it a lot. I just wanted to point out. I never mention it to anyone out loud as don’t want my colleague to have this negative connotation but I can imagine some cruel people might mention it.

Know to many poppy's teen ones and they've changed to a nickname

Love it. My grandma had a sister called Dolly (not her real name) and I thought that was wonderful too.

I know a dog called Poppy in my neighborhood. It is gorgeous.

There are so many young poppies around now the name will age with them, so it will be a normal
Middle aged name when you're dc is Middle Aged

Love it

I love Poppy.

I have a Poppy and I absolutely love it (obviously 😌)

Poppy’s a beautiful name that ages well from young child to in old age.

Agree with pp it’s similar (for me) to Daisy, Maisie etc,- sweet on a child or a pet but not on a middle aged woman. I would not want a name like that at my age.
can she have a longer name and use poppy as a nick name? Not that I can think of one ….
philomena?
philippa
oh, Penelope! That would be lovely

A child called Poppy, Daisy or Maisie will be an adult along with Alfie, Archie, Tommy etc
I don't particularly find the name Poppy childish any more than I do Lily

It’s very little girly

and all those names - Poppy, Lily, Daisy - are overdone

I had a guinea pig named poppy

People always say its a cutesy girls name and won't suit an adult. I just don't agree! It's not one of those cutesy names in my minds. I think it's cool.
I know a 50 year old Poppy who's a doctor and very arty/bohemian. The name suits her.
Love it.

Hmm. There’s a serious late middle aged news reporter called Daisy and I slightly cringe for her. What if you are not arty / bohemian? Sorry but I like stronger names for girls.

That seems more like a you issue than an issue with the name. Why would someone you don’t know having a normal name on the lighter, more feminine side of the spectrum make you cringe for them? If she really felt her name was unsuitable for her, she’d do what anyone else in that situation would do and change it. It’s free and easy to do.
