“What is Poppy short for?”

It’s a nickname for Penelope. I knew a girl whose name was Penelope, and she went by Poppy. If anyone tried to call her Penny she went ballistic.

Poppy is short for “Opium Poppy from the Taliban” LOL

It's not short for anything. The name is based upon the flower named Poppy, of which there are many different varieties.
