Baby names
The name Poppy is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "red flower". Poppy, unlike most floral names which are sweet and feminine, has a lot of spunk; Poppy makes an especially good choice for a redhead. Jamie Oliver -- the British "Naked Chef" -- used Poppy for his daughter Poppy Honey Rosie, as did Anthony Edwards, Jessica Capshaw, and Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. One notable Poppy is Australian Without a Trace star Poppy Montgomery (full name Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth--her mother named all her daughters after flowers: Lily, Daisy, Marigold and Rosie). Poppy made the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2016, and has been on a popularity roll in England, Scotland, and Wales. Other Poppy-like names to consider: Pippa and Piper and Petal.
