It’s a girl for Indy driver Scott Dixon and wife Emma Davies-Dixon! The couple — married in February 2008 – welcomed daughter Poppy Davies Dixon on Sunday, July 5th.

Scott raced to a third place finish at Watkins Glen International in central New York earlier in the day, before racing home to Indianapolis in time for the birth. Poppy weighed in at 6 lbs., 8 oz. and measured 18 inches in length. ”All are doing fine,” Scott reports.

The pregnancy was announced in March.

I really like the name Poppy. There is something so sweet and girly about it. My husband hates it.. he thinks of poppy seeds.

Beautiful name, absolutely love it

We named our almost 2 y.o. daughter Poppy. Obviously I love the name but I get the most unusual looks from people who hear me calling her. 5 years ago I got strange looks for naming our son Kai though, so maybe Poppy will become a little more mainstream too.

What a gorgeous name! Very girly and sweet. Too bad it only sounds “good” in English so I’ll never be able to call a potential daughter like that but oh well

I wonder if she will have a Kiwi passport as well? Congrats to Scott and his wife. I’m sure the NZ media will be all over it in a day or two. CBB rocks for latest news (esp here in NZ)
