Re: Poppy
in reply to a message by Perrine
Floppy! I'm not keen on flower names as a rule - there are a couple of exceptions - and Poppy came from nowhere, zoomed up the charts and probably won't last.
It could work as a nn for Penelope, which already has some good nn options that she could choose from if Poppy ever seemed too dated or ephemeral.
I've also got a secret dread about poppycock! In English it just means 'rubbish!' or 'nonsense!', and it's the same in Dutch (pappe kak) except that the literal meaning there is 'soft shit'.
