Dislike it...

Reminds me of the word POOPY and seems very childish to me. One of my most disliked names actually.

I like it

I like it as a middle name or nickname, but not as a first name.

I don't mind it - it's quite sweet and flowery, and I don't think it sounds particularly babyish or nickname-ish. Having said that, my grandfather was known as Poppy too. :)

The poppy is my favorite flower, so I'm partial to Poppy as a name. I suppose it's a lot less serious than some other names, even other flower names, but I like how bright it feels. I'd imagine a Poppy to have a very sunny disposition.

(And I realize that this is very silly, but the name always reminds me of the Hogwarts nurse in the Harry Potter books, Madam Pomfrey, since Poppy's her first name.)

I once read a book with a character called Poppy, she was a spitfire. Maybe that's what keeps it from seeming insubstantial for me. I will agree it is a tad light and doesn't scream "RESPECT ME" the way something like Margaret or Meredith might, but it is leagues more serious and refined than something like Kaylee or Neveah.

It has a very modern feel to it. Modern but respectable.

I veer back and forth between seeing it as adorable and ditzy. I guess my common sense says a person should use it as a nn.

Nickname Only

I only like it as a nickname, probably strictly for close family and friends to use. For Penelope I prefer it much more than Penny as a nickname, but as everyone said it won't grow up well at all. I'd encourage teachers and people she met to call her Penelope. Pippa could also work I think, though it's usually used as a nickname for Philippa.

Kind of like the nickname Posy for Josephina. Cute for a little kid, would not want to call an adult Posy.

I like Poppy, i think its cute! :)

I like it but I don't think it can work on an adult.

It just...sounds silly. I'd have a hard time taking an adult named Poppy seriously.

Plus, Poppy is what the girls call their grandad.

I think it's soppy for anyone over ten - I've seen it as a nn for Penelope in a recent London BA, and I'm glad she has a grown up name to fall back on!

A tad twee! I think it's lovely on a little girl but I find it quite childish - not cutesy like Kaylee and Chloe, but actually only suiting a child. Maybe it could be a nickname from a pet name like Poppet?

It's what I call my grandfather. :)

I find it ditsy and lacking substance.
