Super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5/page/2#post-2481981 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 18:00:05 +0000 simplyfelicity 2481981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I read the name, I think of our state flower. When I say it, I think of a grandpa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5/page/2#post-2481949 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:36:19 +0000 lemondrop 2481949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt is Poppy. Her formal name is Stephanie, my mom couldn't say her real name, so she became Poppy and it stuck. I'm a bigger fan of just naming them what you are going to call them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481814 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 15:53:41 +0000 pastemoo 2481814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a nickname. It's a flower. I wouldn't change that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481682 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:44:13 +0000 catlady 2481682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it as a nickname. I have heard it used as a nickname for Penelope.</p> <p>I have a name that should basically have been a nickname but it's my given name. I will be honest, I don't like it. I wish I had a "real" name. Just my opinion though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481679 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:42:11 +0000 psw27 2481679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: I love it. </p> <p>Also, I don't even know most of my doctor's first names... I think my son's pediatrician is Brenda? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481654 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:29:41 +0000 LibbyLou 2481654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: right! I had a doctor named Justin and I thought that was weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481633 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:16:27 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2481633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: true. I can't imagine a doctor Piper or Ella or Brayden. But there certainly will be some :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481630 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:14:55 +0000 pastemoo 2481630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: It's on my list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481626 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:11:05 +0000 LibbyLou 2481626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's adorable.<br /> Any "new" popular name isn't going to pass the lawyer/Doctor test. Our age can't imagine an Emma being my doctor either and I'm sure everyone would say Emma passes that test. I think the only thing to think about is: is it a name that you yourself would enjoy having? If so, I say go for it.</p> <p>There's also an actress named poppy Montgomery I believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481610 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:00:45 +0000 agold 2481610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandpa was Poppy to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481456 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:25:02 +0000 Alivoo01 2481456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm eh about it. One of my college classmates calls his daughter Poppy as a nickname, which I'm fine with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481455 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:24:50 +0000 sarac 2481455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it. It's not especially unique or weird. I gave my daughter a similar though more traditional name (Beatrix). She has a more traditional middle name, and I figured that if she grows up disliking her first name she can always use her middle name. Or just choose another, like my husband did. Either way, I picked a name I like, and she can do as she pleases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481393 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:57:27 +0000 Portboston 2481393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who's daughter is Poppy so I think it's adorable. It is her middle name but they call her by it and nobody would know her first name unless she told them. But I guess when she's older she can always choose to go by her first name if she thinks poppy is too childish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481390 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:55:44 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2481390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: @Cherrybee: yes it's so high on the rankings in UK - I think it's the number 5 most popular name!? </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Ivy is also on our list :) </p> <p>Thanks for all the replies - I'm glad there's only 4 people who think it's the worst name ever ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481186 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:32:34 +0000 Happygal 2481186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's cute, but I know more than one person with a dog named Poppy, so it's now a dog name in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2481071 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 08:39:52 +0000 NCSUchick27 2481071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's cute, but not my taste.

But around here a lot of grandfathers are called Poppy. So I couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480980 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 05:14:49 +0000 travelgirl1 2480980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! Here in the UK you hear it quite a lot, as a full name, especially in recent years. All the flower names - Poppy, Rosie, Ivy, Daisy, Lily etc - have been used a lot among my friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480975 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 03:45:00 +0000 FannyMae 2480975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite common Greek name - nickname for Kalliope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480971 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 02:47:24 +0000 Cherrybee 2480971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its a very popular name here right now. I think its lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480960 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 01:31:43 +0000 erinpye 2480960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: really? It's a flower! I think it sounds no more "silly" than something like Katie or Ashley, or any other name ending in the same sound (which don't sound silly to me).</p> <p>I LOVE the name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480936 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:35:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2480936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD3 was actually going to be a Poppy. We didn't decide until 7 or so hours after she was born that she was instead an Ivy. :)</p> <p>Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480923 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:19:33 +0000 Torchwood 2480923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would *maybe* consider it as a nickname, but sorry, way too... silly almost. I don't like it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-name-5#post-2480919 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 00:15:57 +0000 lamariniere 2480919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it. One of my clients is named Poppy, so I totally see it working on an adult. I agree that it also fits in well with the list of peer names. </p>
