Helpin a word ...

Asinine.
It's just so dumb. Even the sound of it is dumb, like baby talk.
In the US, Poppy, along with variations like Pop-Pop and Paw-Paw, are fairly common things for people to call their grandfathers. So, Poppy ought to have a sister called Mamaw.
I remember recently one of the Bush twins named a baby Poppy, supposedly after George HW Bush's childhood n. Wich seems to show that family's fondness for self-commemoration has made them stretch logic like a piece of taffy. I mean, Georgia or Georgina would have made more sense if honoring Bush SR. was really the primary motive.
Still, considering that another of his childhood nns was Fatty McGee McGaw, I suppose the poor child could have had it even worse.
