HelpRe: Poppy
in reply to a message by Perrine
I'm surprised that it's still pretty popular in the UK: it had a meteoric rise and I had hoped it would fall just as fast.
I like the flower too, but Poppy has overtones of grandparents and breakfast cereal and, where I live, the Afrikaans word for a little doll and the kind of young woman who might be called a doll, dollybird etc is 'poppie', which doesn't help.
If I were an adult Poppy, I'd start using my mn if I had one, and if I didn't, I'd make a legal change.
