Poppy

I love the name Poppy. But I think it's a little nicknamey for a given name. Can you think of a name that poppy would work as a nickname for? The only one I have ever heard is Penelope.

Thanks,
Emily

I've never actually heard it used for Penelope, but I asked about it myself recently when I wanted other NN's for Penelope than Penny. I think it could work, because I agree that Poppy sounds nicknamey, and as such I think you could use it quite freely.
How about for Philippa?
Pomona, Philomena, Pandora, Portia...
Peony and Primrose would be kind of silly since they're other flowers.

Paloma

I don't really like Poppy at all, but I think it could be a nickname for Paloma
