Poppy is such a cute nature name!
I don't really like flower names in general but Poppy is adorable.
PLEEEASE do NOT name your child Poppy! This is a term for a Grandfather! How would you like to be called Gramps?
- Personal experiences with the name Poppy
One of my closest friends is called Poppy and I think the name suits her perfectly as both her and the name are cute and charming. Poppy is becoming rather a popular name for there seems to be lots of people named Poppy around at the moment. Popularity of a name is not a bad thing for it proves it's a good one but if you're going for originality and being unique I would leave this name for the next generation to name their children.
A close family friends family's last name was Spark and they named there eldest daughter Talula Poppy Bright Spark, (they had two other daughters named Scarlett Buttercup Spark, and (I forget)Rose Spark.)

This name is usually given with the poppy flower in mind. It could conceivably be a nickname for the Latin name Poppaea.
