    Would this be confusing

    Just been thinking, for a girls name I like Poppy

    BUT my dad is referred to as pop, or poppy.. would it be confusing on a LO if poppy referred to two people, and later on for the little girl to think he name was the same as a man's...

    does that even make sense???

    My niece is Poppy & she has a Poppy, we thought it would be confusing for her but it's not & never has been. Go for it

    There is a little girl at childcare called Poppy and I have always loved that name and came across your 'dilemma' when I was talking to DD about Poppy and wondered if she was confused about who I was talking about. I think it is what you get used to though so I would still use it even though there would be more than one Poppy in the family

    My DD2 is Poppy and one of the boys in my DD1's class (grade 3) turned to his mum and said 'but she doesn't look anything like my poppy!'.

    Nah, I don't think it would be confusing. If you like it, go for it!

    I love it too, but that was the exact reason we crossed it off our list.
