    I like them both, if you're into more eclectic names.  I probably prefer Piper, though it does seem more popular than Poppy at the moment.  GL!

    I love Poppy, particularly as a nickname for Penelope.  I don't care for Piper.

    I want to like Poppy, but I just think of the hispanic name for dad. My niece is Piper, and I definitely like it, but wouldnt have been confident enough to use it. 

    I prefer Piper.

    I prefer Piper. Poppy sounds like a nickname to me.

    they're not names to me. especially poppy. that's what i called my grandfather. i'm sorry, i just can't get into either. they're annoyingly trendy to me.

    I am not partial to the name Piper and Poppy sounds like a nickname. I personally would not want professional name to be listed as Poppy.

    If I had to choose, Piper.  I can't stand Poppy.  It's what my SIL calls my niece (her real name is Peyton) and it just rubs me the wrong way.  I don't know why, but I'm not a fan at all.

    I like Piper, but it seems to be getting popular so I would probably go with Poppy.

    Poppy!

    Piper is a last name in my family; it just doesn't work to me as a first name.

    I love them both!  Poppy wouldn't work for us, though, and my FIL likes to be called that.

    I like Piper, but probably because I  liked the show 'Charmed'.

    True story:  I was at the Museum of Science last year and heard a mother calling out to her girls.  Piper, Paige, and Phoebe.  She must have REALLY liked the show.

    I love Poppy. :) A gf of mine named her DD Poppy earlier this year. She lives in Holland and apparently it's pretty common over there (moreso in the UK, I believe). I think it's cute!

    I don't mind Piper.

    DD's best girl friend is Piper, so I am particularly fond of the name. She is a precious little thing.
