What are the best sibling names for Poppy (boys and girls names)?

Have a daughter called Poppy Hermione and want recommendations for a name to 'go with it' - not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet - due in March. Potentially English names but not necessarily...So far my favorites are:


Jemima Imogen


Benjamin Lloyd

Reply:I love the name Poppy (reminds me of a beautiful Aussie actress Poppy Montgomery who has sisters named Marigold Sun, Lily Belle, Daisy Yellow and Rosie Thorn). I'm not loving Jemima Imogen. The name reminds me of Aunt Jemima -- the pancake syrup. Imogen sounds like a chemistry term.
Reply:Benjamin Lloyd is fine and I love Imogen. Not so crazy about Jemima - Jemma sounds a whole lot better, is prettier, and its only 2 syllables in keeping with something to go with Poppy.
Reply:How sweet! ;)





I love all the names you're currently considering, though I might pair Jemima and Imogen with other names (keeping both, however -- I adore them! -- as a combo it would just be too much J and M sound for me, personally).





I'd avoid any overly-matchy floral names for a first name (Poppy and Daisy or Magnolia, for instance, seems like overkill and doesn't allow them to stand on their own quite as nicely). Except possibly Flora. Poppy and Flora might be doable. ;) You might also consider some mythological first names ... along the same lines as Hermione.





Daphne


Alethea


Antigone


Calliope


Chloris





Some others I find appealing with Poppy ...





Matilda


Maude


Clementine


Isla - IE-la ... but I'm sure you knew that ;)


Niamh - NEEV ... ditto above LOL


Ruby


Millicent


Alice


Gemma - though with Jemima already on the list (love seeing it considered!), I'd simply use Jemma as a nickname


Freya


Eloise


Eleanor/Nora(h)


Nola


Lola


Gwyneth


Harriet


Talulla or Tallulah (different origins, though I believe the Irish root it most often assumed in the UK ... not as familiar in the states, unfortunately)


Scarlett


Moira


Maura


Harper





Really, similarly spunky girl names are easy (and fun)! ;) For the boys', perhaps something along the lines of ...





Simon


Harvey


Milo


Oliver


Oscar


George


Ewan/Euan


Ellis


Lennox


Leo


Rhys


Sebastian


Desmond


Cillian


Findlay/Finley





Hope that helps! ;)
Reply:How about Gareth for a boy?


I think Imogen goes well with Poppy as well as Jemima
Reply:Well for a girl I always liked Willow Grace, and for a boy Gunther Adams.


I hope i helped.
Reply:I thought I was a little off for wanting to name my future daughter Arwyn! You just knocked me out of the box lol i'm kidding. Those names are definitely unique, don't know if I would name my kids one of them except maybe Benjamin but hey it's your choice. Please don't name your daughter Jemima I'm sorry but when I hear that I just makes me think of pancakes lol.


Starlette Sky--girl


Braydyn Christopher--boy
Reply:I love your names!!! My name is Autumn Rose, I think it would go greatly!!
