Sounds like a grandfather

ditto

My friend calls her grandfather Poppy. And I also think of the word "poppycock". Despite those two reactions, I think it's kind of cute!

haha. i didnt even think about poppycock!

i know a woman who named her daughter this, its a nn and once i met the little girl it seemed to fit her.

but still....it is gradnfatherly

hmmm. no. I can think of about a zillion ways to make fun of that name. sorry.

i did not say i was naming my child this, nor did i say i liked or disliked the name.

i just asked for thoughts.

Your icon is leaving floating spots in front of my eyes...

Only if you're giving birth to a bagel.

again i didnt even think about that!

im not having a baby or even close to thinking about having a baby, but i heard the name and wanted opinions.

i still think of the flower :)

Ha, I work at a place that used to carry Poppy Seed bagels, but doesn't anymore. My immediate reaction was "No, we haven't carried those in a year and a half."

Didn't Jamie Oliver (the Naked Chef) name his daughter that? I think it's kind of sweet but ONLY if the kid stays five forever!

He did!

He also has Daisy Boo!

And i agree about being 5, i have a lot of names that i think are adorable but i cant imagine the kid in a corporate world...let a lone high school :)

don't procreate.

agagin. i just asked for oppinions, did not say i liked or disliked the name or wanted to name a child that.

Does it matter? It was an opinion, deal or don't post.

Grrr.

I know 3 little girls named Poppy so it doesn't sound 'weird' too me, I kinda like it.

Very British sounding, and I adore the flower, but for me it's just a little too close to "poopy" to work as a name. Also, I think poppy is a very silly sounding word. It might be cute on a kid, but it doesn't come across at all dignified/professional on an adult to my ears.

I think it'd be better as a middle name.

Grandpa?

Poopy.

That's what I imagine kids calling her. :(

I actually like it. I think of the flower.

i call my grandpa poppy...

I think it's lovely! But i'm from Britain so I may have a different perspective!

seed.

I actually kind of like it. But a name like that probably wouldn't suit most people, if that makes sense.

what I called my grandfather.

i really love poppy

esp. as a short for penelope

Thats the girls real name!

haha

Like Poppy Montgomery from the tv show Without A Trace.

i love the name poppy. a good friend of mine in college was named penelope but her family called her poppy. very cute.

My nickname as a child was Poppy (and my name is Katherine) I think its cute, but not very strong. I think a real girly girl could pull it off :)
