HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD MIDDLE NAME TO GO WITH POPPY
Here are some factors to consider when picking a middle name for your baby girl, Poppy.
The flow of the middle name with the first and last names.
Is there a natural flow to the names?
Say the names out loud.
Do you like the sound of it? Not just how good it looks on paper but how it sounds.
Pick a meaningful middle name rather than a filler name.
You may decide to pick the name of a dear family member or the name of the place you first met or had your first date. It’s entirely up to you!
What do the initials spell?
You wouldn’t want a Poppy Iris Grant (P.I.G) now, would you? This is especially important if you consider the fact that you may get personalised gifts.
On the other hand, this study shows that positive name initials lead to a longer life. So, you can give your baby a positive acronym like Poppy Eden Philips (P.E.P)!
Don’t be in a hurry.
The perfect middle name for your baby will come to you. It may or may not take a while but it will in the end.

WHY HAVE A MIDDLE NAME FOR POPPY?
You might have spent countless hours scouring websites and forums looking for a name that “clicks.
So much so, you may be wondering if it is important to give your baby girl a middle name.
I completely understand. I’ve been there. Here are 4 reasons why it’s a good idea to give Poppy a middle name.
#1. To DIFFERENTIATE your girl
Poppy is a fairly popular name in the UK. So, there’s a good chance that there may be 2 or more Poppys in her class.
What happens if you have a popular last name like Smith as well? A middle name will help to distinguish your dear Poppy.
#2. The Power of the FULL NAME
You will be familiar with the full name power play. You know, the one your parents surely used on you when you were being naughty as a child.
You remember, right?
It’s not just a parent hack, you know. Recent research has proved that calling your child by their full names- First, middle and last names- makes your child develop more self-control and also less indulgent.
Isn’t that amazing?
#3. A way to HONOUR FAMILY members
Giving your baby a middle name can be a sweet way to honour family members, especially the extended family that you are fond of or those who passed recently.
#4. You’re giving your child OPTIONS
We all want our kids to love the names we give them.
Realistically, this won’t always be the case. And that’s okay. By giving your child a middle name, you are giving them options for the future.
In that case, your child has the option of using their middle name as their first name. Ever heard of Laura Jeane Reese Witherspoon? The famous actress goes by her middle name Reese.
