Re: Jenna Bush named her daughter...
Poppy Louise is way too precious for me. Still, it's better than some, I suppose. From what I understand, Poppy was the nn for GHWB as a child. Who would call a boy THAT? I'm really curious to know the story now.

My guess is that it was just baby talk that stuck to him.
Which makes Jenna's naming her daughter that way doubly dumb; it would be the same as naming her Boo-Boo or Peanut or Munchkin. The only thing different is that Poppy is considered an actual name.

Eh, I just think she and the hubs liked Poppy anyway and this was a convenient way to honor family and arrive at the name they truly liked. Ditto with Mila.
