Weird on its own? I don't like Bartholemew or Ptolomey, but think Tolly is just lovely! Any thoughts?

Have you never heard of Keech Bum or Toallie Fart, star?

I'm Scottish in Scotland and I have never heard of that before.

That's what I meant mrscrumb. Tolly the toalie. Kids would have a field day.

It's a NN, not a name in its own right

Thomas Oliver
Or any other T Oliver

Tollie ( or toley ) is another word for shite in Scotland.

Love Green Knowe. It was short for Toseland in the books, I think.

sebsmummy1 · 15/11/2013 21:29

I would say weird on its own, as a nickname fine

It makes me think of toalie. I can't imagine it being used as a nice name.

Aw, I have just been reading Children of Green Knowe to the children. I do love Tolly, I would in the past have felt it should be short for something but nowadays I think it might be OK on its own.
