One notable Poppy is Australian Without a Trace star Poppy Montgomery (full name Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth--her mother named all her daughters after flowers: Lily, Daisy, Marigold and Rosie). Poppy made the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2016 at a respectable Number 747, and has been on a popularity roll in England, Scotland, and Wales.
