Re: Poppy?
in reply to a message by queenv
It's one of my least favourite names, but I think one of the reasons it's popular in the UK is because of Remembrance Day, or "Poppy Day" on November 11th each year. A lot of people wear paper poppies on their clothing around that time. I think some people see Poppy as kind of a patriotic British name. Also, it's not used as a name for a grandfather here, so doesn't have that connotation.
