[Opinions] Re: Poppy
in reply to a message by A
Many people call their grandfather Poppy. That’s the first thing I think of. That and the opioid epidemic. I usually love flower names, but this one is problematic.

Yeah, I called my maternal grandfather Pop, my children called my father Pop, and my great-grandfather was called, by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Poppy Last Name. But when I once brought it up here in the context of this name, there were many who said they'd never heard of Poppy as name for a grandfather, and few who said it was the name their grandfather had gone by. But obviously "grandfather" is the first thing I think of too.
