Why Doctor calls Poppy by her name?

It just occurred to me today that Doctor never called Poppy by her experiment number.

She's one of two experiments Doctor calls by their name and not experiment number with another one being Yarnaby.

With Yarnaby it's quite obvious why Doctor calls him by his name. Yarnaby wasn't only a guard dog for Sawyer imo. I think that Doctor wanted to have someone who would look up to him and only him. Someone loyal that would never leave his side. Someone that wouldn't backstab him.

But why Doctor calls Poppy by her name?

It's as clear as day that he despises her even if just because she's Elliot's daughter.

I know that Poppy's experiment number is kept as secret cause it's important as it could help as determine when exactly she was made.

But from in-game perspective - Doctor doesn't have any reason to call Poppy by her name and yet he still does that.

My guess is that it's due to more personal reasons. We still don't know how exactly relationship between Harley and Elliot looked like. But I think that their relationship was close. And my intuition tells me that Sawyer knew about Poppy during his time at Young Geniuses Program.

But what do y'all think is the reason to why Doctor calls Poppy by her name?
