DS is Billy. Do you think Sally goes with his name? if not any other suggestions welcome!

I like Sally, it's quite unusual these days. Polly is nice too!

But I suppose the 'lly' repetition won't appeal to everyone.

I like Sally. One of my best friends is a Sally and we refer to her as Happy Sally, because she is!!

Our cat is called Sally (named after the blue porsche in Cars ] and she is lovely.

Anna8888 · 18/12/2008 09:18

Polly is lovely, but again, not so great with Billy.

Anna8888 · 18/12/2008 09:17

My father (he of brother Bill and sister Sallie) also has a sister Catho (short for Catherine). And there is a Lucy and a Lucie in our family.

i like Lucy and Katy too. i just dont know any other little Sallys so it appealed all the more. My mum is lobbying for Libby or Polly. DH is useless and comes up with nothing!

it's great

i don't really understand why people worry about names "going together". it's fine with billy

Anna8888 · 18/12/2008 09:09

Is Billy a nickname for William, or is the name on his birth certificate Billy?

what do you think would go with Billy then? i'm open to suggestions. i would like something short as we have a very long surname.

Sally deserves a comeback - it's a sweet name. And one of my best friends is one, so I'm biased.

Doesn't go with Billy though.

ggirlsbells · 18/12/2008 09:07

I know someone with a Millie and Maddie and that sounds stupid as well.

ggirlsbells · 18/12/2008 09:06

too cbebbie-like when put with billy imo

sally is nice though

billy and katy

belgo · 18/12/2008 09:05

Sally's nice, but it sounds silly with Billy.

Anna8888 · 18/12/2008 09:04

I had a great aunt called Mollie (nickname for Monica) and I have a second cousin called after her...
