Re: British girl's names, Poppy, etc
in reply to a message by Tempestgirl
Poppy is very popular over here, it was 28 in the charts in 2007 (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/specials/babiesnames_girls.asp)
I think Poppy is quite a common name due to the flower being tied to Rememberence Sunday (Veterans Day), there are poppy buttonholes and car banners every year.
Names that I see as decidedly British: Niamh, Evelyn, Sheila, Theadora, Cerys, Verity.
