I only know of 1 and she is dreadful (sorry)

Love the name, but would never use it because will always relate it to this Poppy I know!

Poppy my cousins daughter. I wasnt keen at first but it really does suit her now and I love it!

Bathsheba · 03/03/2009 22:39

I know one...she is mine..!!

She is often Pop, Pops or Pop-Pop, but then her sister is called LuLu a lot..

I have met a couple of others in my time, and I know a LOT of people who have told me its a dog's name.

This bump will be Poppy if it is a girl. i only know of one other (daughter of a friend of a friend). unfortunately my mum's cat is called Poppy too but i cant think of anything i like more which DH hasnt vetoed. i keep telling myself its an old cat and i will regret not picking the name if it pops its clogs next year! sorry cat lovers!

dinkymum · 04/03/2009 10:04

dont know any but would have been very strong contender if DS had been a DD

fizzpops · 04/03/2009 10:20

I have a Poppy and also know a dog with the name!

Ours is called Pops, Poppet and Popsicle depending - sorry if you don't like it, we love it and don't know any others (yet!).

cravingchocolate · 04/03/2009 10:54

I know 3 and our spaniel is called Poppy! My mum had a cat called Poppy too.

rabuxton · 04/03/2009 13:47

I'm not keen on Poppy, or Pops for short.

I automatically think of it as a dogs name as know 3 Poppy bitches. Also know of 1 child, which gets shortened to Pops.

rabuxton · 04/03/2009 13:48

I do like Popsicle though, thats cute.

skyblu · 04/03/2009 14:02

I know 1.

She is 5 and the biggest brat and most unsuited character to a name that I have ever encountered.

KERALA1 · 04/03/2009 14:07

Personally think it fails the "does it work on an adult" test. Fine for a curly haired moppet less so for a corporate lawyer IMO. Dont know any under 5 though.

nappyaddict · 13/03/2009 13:51

I know 2.
