HelpBritish girl's names, Poppy, etc
Hey all,
A recent post had me thinking about the name Poppy as a girl's name and it's origins, etc. I'm from the US and had never heard it before watching a show featuring the Chef Jamie Oliver. It mentioned that he had a daughter with this name. I thought maybe he and his wife wanted something a little different, and it's not so out of the park being a flower and all. But there was another post and someone mentioned that an individual within the British Gov't (I think?)had a daughter by this name too(maybe a mn).
I was curious as to how popular it it in Britain(or anywhere really) as it's nonexistant here in the States. I was trying to think of some more....Gemma I see as decidedly British, as well as Philippa. Hmm...that's all that are popping into my head at the moment. I like them both. Some formal boys' names like Albert fit too.
But anyway, along with Poppy(or other names that have a good showing over the pond and not so much in the US)are there any names you hear that you think are decidedly US? And if you can, why? For me, I have no clue the reason for Poppy, but I suspect Albert stayed popular b/c of the royal family.
