A close friend has named her second daughter [name]Angelica[/name] [name]Rose[/name] a sister to [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Know she’s having second thoughts due to the popularity of [name]Poppy[/name] in Australia compared to [name]Angelica[/name] she does not want [name]Poppy[/name] to have heaps of the kids with the same name as her while [name]Angelica[/name] is the only one in her class or year group. Berries do you think [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Angelica[/name] work as sisters or should she change her name to the more common [name]Annabelle[/name]. I personally think they work well though I might not be the best to ask looking at the popularity difference between my twin girls names: [name]Ruby[/name] number 2, Miette nowhere near charting.
I think your friend has made a lovely choice. [name]Angelica[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is just lovely and works well as a sibling to [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Though, if in the future her daugher is concerned about her less than popular first name, she does have a second name that’s absolutely classic. I went by my middle name from 5th grade all the way through high school.
I think your friend shoudln’t second guess herself… it’s a beautiful name.
I don’t understand her concern. She already has a daughter named [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Grace[/name] so there’s nothing she can do about the popularity of her name. Ok, so if logic kicks in she should want a more UNCOMMON name for her second daughter to avoid that issue. [name]Angelica[/name] is also a nature name (a plant) although most people probably aren’t aware of that fact. I think [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Angelica[/name] are a wonderful sibling duo and the nature connection is very subtle. If she doesn’t like the popularity of her first daughter’s name, why would she want to use a more popular name like [name]Annabelle[/name] for her second daughter? She wants two daughters to share their names with classmates instead of just one? That doesn’t make sense to me. I think she made the right decision with choosing the rarer name of [name]Angelica[/name]. I would hope that people learn from the past and do things differently if given another chance.
Definitely leave it alone. Her girls have beautiful names. And who’s to say that [name]Angelica[/name] won’t start shooting up the charts next year?
I’d stay with the names she has chosen if I were her. [name]Both[/name] are beautiful, and to me both seem a bit Victorian (though I’m not sure they are) and as someone mentioned above, both are nature names. A lovely sibset. I don’t think the popularity of a name is that important to be honest. I use top 10 lists to narrow down my shortlists, but beyond that I don’t worry too much. Popularity shifts. Whether or not you love the name you choose for your child does not!
