Poppy

Poppy is a feminine name that will remind your little one that even the tiniest expression of joy, kindness, or love can blossom into something beautiful. Deriving from the Old English word popæg, Poppy refers to the poppy flower, a blossom that blooms wild during the summer months. While poppies are certainly beautiful to look at, they are also rich with symbolism, representing sleep, peace, and remembrance. If you're welcoming an August baby, the poppy will be their birth flower, and with a first name like Poppy, they'll always remember that! Though lovely as a full title, Poppy is a versatile nickname choice, too, according to The Bump user 526SadieSadie, who says, "I think you could probably turn Poppy into a nickname for any girl's name beginning with P, like Penelope, Patricia, Persephone, or Phillipa." The garden isn't the only place your Poppy will find their name, as they'll also taste it in poppyseed bagels, muffins, and cakes.
