In [name]England[/name] where my husband is from [name]Poppy[/name] is really common for girls. But out here it seems to be a name for Grandfathers. [name]Penelope[/name] is a huge family name and one that has not been taken by the recent generations so up for grabs. I think I like[name]Poppy[/name] as the nickname…doable? Does it go ok with [name]Maple[/name]?
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Maple[/name] is really cute! But [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Maple[/name] maybe not. [name]Poppy[/name] is a flower, and [name]Maple[/name] is a tree, so that might be nature over kill. However, I think [name]Poppy[/name] is an adorable girl’s name! I don’t know where you mean when you say ‘over here’, but I’m not from [name]England[/name], and where I live it works! It’s nice that [name]Penelope[/name] is a family name, making it a great name to use! [name]Poppy[/name] from [name]Penelope[/name] is a bit of a stretch, but I think it’s workable. If you don’t mind the super nature-y connections, then I love the name!
I actually already have a little girl named [name]Maple[/name]! I meant whether [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maple[/name] go together well as siblings…sorry to be confusing! I get the [name]Poppy[/name] from the last part of [name]Penelope[/name], it kind of sounds like “oppy” to me and then add the P. It is kind of a stretch though!!
I personally think it’s too cutesy, I can’t imagine a 40 year old [name]Poppy[/name]… but as a nickname for [name]Penelope[/name] it should be fine, though I think [name]Penny[/name] would be the more obvious choice.
As for the grandpa thing, I think most Americans say Grandpa, Grandad, or Grandfather. I never heard anyone use poppy (said more like Pappy), except for my Puerto Rican friend, but that’s because it’s a Puerto Rican thing.
You’d definitely have a nature them going though with a [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maple[/name], possibly a P theme as well
I think [name]Penelope[/name] NN [name]Poppy[/name] is adorable! [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maple[/name] would have a shared nature connection that I think is very sweet 
See, that’s the problem I have with [name]Poppy[/name]. I am an Aussie and everyone hear uses “[name]Poppy[/name]” for their grandfathers too. But I think it’s popular enough that it works and you won’t get very many queer looks. I think it works well with [name]Maple[/name]. Your taste is interesting as both those names (in my mind) portray this imagery of red
I have a male family member with the nickname [name]Poppy[/name] so I see it as masculine but it could definitely work for a girl as a nn or full name. [name]Maple[/name] & [name]Poppy[/name]/[name]Penelope[/name] “[name]Poppy[/name]” are great together!
It’s what we called my (upstate NY, Dutch- descended) grandfather, so [name]Poppy[/name] is more grizzled old man than dainty blossom to me. It’s not a name I would use on its own.
[name]Penelope[/name], nn [name]Poppy[/name], is very usable, but I think it might sound a little formal and buttoned up next to [name]Maple[/name].
I agree, [name]Maple[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] “[name]Poppy[/name]” are adorable!
I happen to be one of those that loves [name]Poppy[/name] for both grandpas and little girls. I mentioned [name]Poppy[/name] to my dad once and he’s completely obsessed with it now–I don’t think we get a say in what our children call my dad from here on in, lol. On the other hand, I love flower names (in a very nostalgic way, they honor my mom, which is probably why I love them so much!), and I love the veterans’ connection to poppies, and they’re beautiful flowers, but obviously if my dad is [name]Poppy[/name] my daughter can’t be [name]Poppy[/name], too. Which is why I keep it as a MN. But I would absolutely love to meet a little girl named [name]Poppy[/name], I think it’s so fiery and sweet and unexpected. I think [name]Maple[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name] are great.
Definitely grandpa to me. It’s one of those names I just can’t see the appeal of at all, I think the sound is really harsh and when I hear it I can’t help but imagine the Wicked Witch of the West cackling: “poppies…poppies will make them sleeeep.” I also think it’s too theme-y with [name]Maple[/name], if that’s something you care about.
[name]Penelope[/name], on the other hand, is lovely. I’d go with one of the other nickname options. [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name] are both very spunky and cute.
[name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Poppy[/name] sister of [name]Maple[/name] is great! I know a [name]Poppy[/name] (her full name) and nobody ever confuses her for a grandpa, so I think you’re safe. 
[name]Maple[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] are great! I like [name]Poppy[/name] and know girls called poppy and as an Aussie hear it used for grandfathers, but I don’t think that’s an issue.
I agree with pp’s that said [name]Penny[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name] are cute nn also.
[name]Maple[/name] and [name]Penny[/name]?
[name]Maple[/name] and [name]Nellie[/name]?
Is [name]Maple[/name] nn [name]May[/name]? or something else? Or nothing
[name]Penelope[/name] is our number 1 as well and I wanted to use [name]Poppy[/name] as a nn but I have 2 grand dads names poppi, or pop pop! I’m in the same predicament as I don’t want anyone to be confused w who we are referring to… However I did think the nickname was sweet bc it could be in honor of the grandfathers too. I say use [name]Penelope[/name] and see what happens with the nickname later!
[name]Poppy[/name] is too cutesy as a full name and I think of grandfathers. My niece calls my dad Pop-pop or [name]Poppy[/name]
I think [name]Poppy[/name] our of [name]Penelope[/name] is very doable!
i also think [name]Poppy[/name] and [name]Maple[/name] go great together!
[name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Poppy[/name] definitely works, and also works great as a sibling to [name]Maple[/name] in my opinion. So cute! I’ve only ever heard “Pop,” “Pops,” or “Grandpa” used, and the only time I’ve seen Pappy was in a really old book, I think, and if I remember correctly the person was an old Irish immigrant. Also, I could see a 40-something [name]Poppy[/name] better than a 40-something [name]Penelope[/name], but that’s probably just me.
