....Polly?

(Happy New Year BTW)

I've come to love this recently... it's cute for a baby but (I think) also ages well. I'm not keen on the name Mary and like Polly in its own right. Is it a bit too nicknamey? Also really like Penelope - at a stretch could name be Penelope with nn Polly?

Be as brutal as you like :)
TIA :)

Love it; no need to be nn for Mary, I think it works perfectly well as a 'proper' name.

Thanks so far, ladies. I was thinking longer middle names as surname is one syllable. Keep ideas coming :)
