Re: Poppy
in reply to a message by Pickles
I used to have a bloodhound named Poppy. I guess it wasn't meant to have been in reference to the flower, but I assumed it was when I was a kid. He was adopted.
It doesn't sound bad to me as a girl's or woman's name. I think it's garish, but kind of in the way Piper, Prudence, Daisy, Lola are...it's not as established as Lily but doesn't strike me as less mature...and it seems better to me than Scarlett, Paisley, Pippa, Winnie, or Birdie, even despite poppycock being a word.
It's easy for me to imagine someone I'd like to meet named Poppy.
