I am expecting DC2 and my DH and I have struggled to agree on names. For a girl he has recently mentioned Polly. I like it but I worry that people might think it is a bit cutsie. What do other people think?

To cutesy for me, sorry.

I knew a great Polly at university, I like it but you'll never get 100% approval on it

I like it. I had a school friend whose very cool big sister was called Polly. Her and PJ Harvey make it a good name to me.

wonderful name!

I like it too. I only know one-must be mid 30s. Haven't seen her for years but she was an intelligent and driven woman. Go for it! Grin

It's pretty not cutsie.
I like it.

EyelinerQueen · 29/04/2014 21:30

I hate it.

Not so much cutesy as prissy and unpleasant sounding.

Bowlersarm · 29/04/2014 21:30

I like it as well.
