Poppy as a MN

I'm not brave enough to use Poppy as a FN, but what about a middle name?

Honest thoughts on Poppy??

    I think Poppy is super-cute. There's a poster around here somewhere (mummyofsix) with a daughter named Poppy. 

    I would think it would be a little difficult to find a FN that goes with Poppy, but if you can find one that you love, go for it!

    Also, it can be a NN for Penelope, if that would make it a little easier for you to use it as a FN.

    Unfortunately I haven't come up with any yet that go with Poppy.  :( 

    It's odd that I like Poppy so much because I'm a real fan of very traditional names. I like the idea of Penelope, but DH said "NO WAY!" Haha! 

    Here is my name list so far:

    Abigail

    Esme

    Hannah

    Emily 

    Grace

    Katherine

    Lily

    Elizabeth

    Olivia

    I REALLY wish I could come up with some names I adore that aren't so popular.  These babies aren't going to have names unless they're boys...  Crying

    I really don't see the appeal of Poppy NMS

    I really like Poppy Elizabeth... I'd say just go for the poppy as the first name if you love it. I think it's a great first name!!

    I bought the GIAM (sp?) yoga video when I was preggers with DS1- I'd never even heard of the name Poppy nor Sunshine until I saw that video. Needless to say Poppy was about to POP (she was atleast 9 1/2 months preggy) and I couldn't stop laughing long enough to even complete the video. It's a running joke in our household.

    I'm sorry, but the first thing this name makes me think of is opium and I, personally, don't consider that a good thing.

    I think Poppy is cute. It's actually a really common name in the UK, in the top 30 names I think.

    I like it but this is FIL's grandfather name so it would be weird if we used it.  Penelope is #1 on our list for hypothetical #2.  (We'll probably use NN Penny.)

    It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz and the field of poppies, which is a great reference since that movie is awesome.

    LMAO! Here's something to make all you bumpies cringe: I have a Mary Jane and an Eliza Poppy. And I did it knowingly and on purpose.... Remember the rule about already named children ladies.... Bwa-ha-ha-ha....

    I think Abigail Poppy sounds adorable.  And, I think it has the potential to age pretty well.

    Could Poppy be a nn for Penelope?  Not my favorite name, but I can't picture a little girl named Poppy.  I see my friend's ginger cat.

    for me poppy is one of those "i don't get it" names. it might be because 1. i think of poppy seeds and 2. there are 2 men in my family who are called poppy by their grandchildren.
