Baby due imminently...

[Chloepolo]

DC1 due imminently and DP and I are still undecided about names ...

For a boy, we have:
Ronnie (Ronald)
Roley (Roland)

For a girl, we have:
Lulu (does this need a longer version?)
Polly (my favourite but DH less keen!)

Surname is relatively uncommon, three syllables and begins with J

Any advice much appreciated!

[ImACompleteCyclePath]

I'd go for Roland but with Rolly or Rollo as NN - so cute!

[maitaimojito]

I prefer Ronnie as I think Roley could be unfortunate if the child is ever overweight.

I'm not keen on the girls names but woood go for Polly out of the two. I just think of the singer with Lulu.

[BillyButtfuck]

Love LuLu and Polly
I like Ronnie but not a huge fan of Roland.

[voobylooby]

Love both your boys names, maybe slightly prefer Ronnie.

For Lulu, only people I know who get called Lou or lulu are Louise- do you like that?

[ImACompleteCyclePath]

No! You're all wrong - Rollo is super cute

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Love all your names but especially lulu, that's ace

[Hotpinkangel19]

Ronnie.

[WilliowGreen]

I love Ronnie as that was my grandad's name.
Polly is also beautiful.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Ronnie.
How about Loula (LuIu).

[Chloepolo]

Thanks for all the advice so far, much appreciated!

Hmm, I do see what you mean about Roley maitai! I love Rollocyclepath, please do persuade DH!

What about Lola or Layla instead of Lulu?

[Sophronia]

I like Lulu short for Louisa.

[Sophronia]

Ronald and Roland are both good. Not keen on Polly, Lola or Layla.

[RoseAndRose]

I think of Lulu as short for Lucinda mainly. Or Talullah. Louise and Luisa third.

[BillyButtfuck]

Talulah is so pretty Rose

[29Palms]

Love Roland.
Ronald is pretty retro, but that's fine.

Lulu is fine as a nn, but I would give her a full name. Options include Louise, Louisa, Lucinda and Louella.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

How about Lyra or Lyla.

[QuietNameChange]

Love Ronald! Unfortunately know a really unpleasant (seriously unpleasant) man named Roland/Rolly. Which is probably why the name was somewhat spoiled for me.

Ronald is retro and imo fabulous!

Lola is lovely. And I personally honestly love Tallulah nn Lulu.

[Joeybee]

Lulu sounds too cutesy to me, but a gorgeous nn for a Lucy/Lucinda?
Love Polly, feel this name should be used more.
I prefer Ronald to Roland...only because Rolly/Roland makes me think of a fat person! I do like Ro/Roe as a nn for Roland.

[lrliml]

Lulu would make a cute nn for Luella, Lucie or Lucinda. Also love Lola, Lottie or Lila! Struggle to picture Polly on an adult but its sweet for a baby/child.

[AbernathysFringe]

Lulu I associate with Tallulah and I like it.
Polly is Fawlty Towers and parrots but I know an adult one who is very likeable and pretty. It's sort of friendly and harmless really.
Not keen on either boys name but Ronnie of the two.

[SuperBeagle]

Roland is nicer than Ronald, but Ronnie is infinitely better than Roley, which is just reminiscent of fat rolls.

Lulu is ok... Prefer it as a nickname for Lucinda or Lucy.

Love Polly.

If you like R names for boys, you might like:

• Reuben (Roo? Ben?)
  
• Riley
  
• Rory
  
• Roman
  
• Robin (Robbie?)
  
• Robert (Robbie? Bobbie? Rob? Bob?)
  
• Raymond (Ray?)
  
• Redmond (Red?)
  
• Reggie
  
• Roscoe

[harderandharder2breathe]

I'm not personally a fan of your boys names but I like Polly for a girl

[Rockaby]

Of those choices, Ronnie and Polly by miles for me.

[buttercup54321]
