Poppy vs Billie

[Mylo25]

Help 😂

I'm obviously getting old as my only thought was Piper!

I think Poppy is much more common, I've not come across a Billie though.

My thought was Holliday. @Invisablepanic

Poppy Willow would be nice to kind of factor in Billie.

Not a fan of Billie particularly but Poppy is just so everywhere and they’re all Poppy Rose/Grace/May which makes it very dull.

Poppy Willow sounds and looks lovely but is ridiculous.

Poppy 10/10

Or ..
Boppy 6/10
Pillie 5/10
Polly 9/10
Billie 7/10
Bippy 4/10

Thank you everyone for your replies 😊 I'd imagine will still keep changing my mind haha but its been a help x

Billie 100%. Poppy is overused (where I am anyway) and I've never met a Poppy I've warmed to.

Billie

Polly is lovely.

Billie is babyish, too.

Wilhelmina nn Billie is ok.

Poppy is very twee, I can't see the appeal at all. Billie is much better for an older girl or woman.

Agree. I don't like Billie much, but it's way better than Poppy.

Billie

Poppy.

Billie is a shortening

Billie,
Mostly because I would rather be called Billie than Poppy.
Billie has more of a universal feel. For instance Billie Eilish and Billie Piper's names both suit them and they seem very different, but to me Poppy just feels girly and a bit posh.

But also I keep mistyping Poppy as Poopy and that feels unfortunate.

Billie

All areas are different. I know of no children called Poppy over the age of 7, but it's having a bit of a moment around me right now. I know quite a few under 7s with this name, especially under 3s. So to me, it doesn't feel dated at all.

OP, I much prefer Poppy. I'm not a fan of unisex names.

Poppy is nice but does sound a bit babyish to me. It’s also too much of a stretch to make it a nickname for anything. Philippa or Penelope ‘nn Poppy’ just doesn’t work.

I can’t decide how I feel about Billie! It’s quite sweet but maybe a bit boyish.

A name is for life - I can't picture either of these sitting well on a cranky menopausal woman.

Maybe pick something a bit less cutesy and use a nickname when she's little?

Love Billie for a girl.
Agree with pp have never met an non annoying Poppy, it's a babyish name

Makes me think William ('Billy') Bremner

Poppy is classy, Billie isn’t

I completely disagree! Billie especially with the ie isn’t in the slightest bit ‘classy’.

Am I the only one who read this 3 times and can't make sense of it?

LOVE Billie <3
