Polly?

Thoughts on the name Polly? I was rather shocked to see it has never been that high on the UK charts. Highest position was 184! I like that it is not overly ‘out there’ but still surprisingly not that popular!

Thoughts? :)

One of my favourite girls names, only ever met one Polly, great choice.

Nice name but I straight away think of parrots! Sorry! X

I love Polly. I think it feels more like a nickname to me, but I don’t like anything that it could be short for.

I know a very lovely Polly who is in her 20s. Great name!

It's OK. Does make me think a bit of parrots, lol. I prefer Molly.

It's one of the many nicknames for Mary, so although it's never been high in the charts as they only record registered names, it would have been more in use than it looks like.

Love.

Know 2 beautiful cool Pollys.

It's gorgeous! It's been around long enough to have outgrown it's nickname origins and it's cute and quirky.
