Hi everyone, due a baby girl next month and am so bored of debating names with husband! I have narrowed it down to-

Polly Elizabeth
Martha Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a family name. Is Polly too cutesy or Martha too drab?!

Lovely names but I would choose Elizabeth as a first name,beautiful name.I like Martha as a second choice.

I like Polly better. Martha sounds a bit drab to me.

Martha. Polly reminds me of parrot (sorry).

Martha. Polly has a rather unattractive sound imo and it's a little too cutesy.

Thanks for positive feedback, I do like Molly but to me it sounds a bit more like a nick name than Polly does. Polly is not common though which in many ways is good but makes me question why not!

Love them both but Martha more

You pinpointed the hesitation I have with both - Polly a bit cutesy and Martha a bit drab. I would definitely go with Polly - Polly in Peaky Blinders was anything but cutesy.

Slightly prefer Polly (but like both of them actually). What combining them = Molly?

Two really nice names! Polly is the stronger of the two.
