Finding it super tricky to think of a baby name! We already have a Poppy. I love Penelope but I worry Penny would be to close to Poppy…

Maisie!

Maisie is my favourite with Poppy.

But I also love Freya with Poppy.

Holly ❤️

I know sisters called Poppy and Freya

My favourite from your list is Maisie but I think Poppy & Freya sound great together!

I like Penelope but do know a few under the age of 5 & would it cause confusion for sisters to share the same initials?

Goodluck choosing x

Yes I think Poppy and Penny would be too close for sisters, very twee but then I also think Poppy and Holly is a bit twee too.
So that leaves Maisie which is a perfectly nice name and has a similar cutsie vibe as Poppy

Or Poppy and Nelly

Freya is my favourite, or Penelope with Nell as a shortening.

I like Holly best but not sure about Poppy and Holly together.
Poppy and Maisie sounds nice
Don’t like Penelope much and if it too much with Poppy

I think Poppy and Holly would be lovely.

If you love Penelope don't let the Penny and Poppy thing stop you, they are their own individual people and if your baby suits Penelope then that should be her name. And go for Nell or Nelly for short if she suits that.

Penelope by a New York mile! But full Penelope, not Penny, that's dreadful.

Freya is also gorgeous and was on our list 14 years ago!
