Polly is too cutesy for me. I just think of a chubby, girly, cutesy, princessy girl. I see it as more a pets name than a persons name, if I'm honest. Polly as a nickname for something like Philippa would be nice.

I love Polly. It's beautiful.

We both love it but unfortunately my mother doesn't. I don't care. I wish I hadn't told her! She'll have to learn to like it!

Polly Pocket
and Polly put the kettle on...

Put the kettle on.

LilaBlue · 18/03/2018 00:28

Not good things. A parrot is the first thing, then faulty towers, then a kettle.

And having RTFT - Polly Elizabeth!

KarineAimee · 17/03/2018 22:33

An awesome friend of mine! So sad we can't have Polly with our surname.

TatianaLarina · 17/03/2018 13:15

Polly Elizabeth has better alliteration.

Plus Mabel sucks.

IVflytrap · 17/03/2018 13:14

I like Polly Mabel. I don't like the repeating L sounds in Polly Elizabeth.

daisypond · 17/03/2018 13:07

Polly Elizabeth.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/03/2018 12:20

Love it.

Polly Mabel

PuppyMonkey · 17/03/2018 12:19

I quite like it. Lol at “not suitable for an adult.”

TatianaLarina · 17/03/2018 12:18

Not suitable for an adult

Tell Polly Toynbee that.

TatianaLarina · 17/03/2018 12:17

Love it.

Have a very cool beautiful friend called Polly.

I'm glad people like it!
We're decided. But can't choose between Polly Mabel and Polly Elizabeth.

Also this thread has blown my mind... I though Miss Molly had a dolly who was sick!!!!

LastNightsMakeUp · 15/03/2018 14:45

...put the kettle on.
TBH I would have been thrilled as a child to think everyone knew a song about me 😂
