That's OK, I do realise she's definitely something of an acquired taste!

Still a great name though

very pretty. if surname werent Potts I'd go for it!

angelene · 24/05/2009 16:47

Got to go for Polly Jean - I say this as a huge PJ (Polly Jean) Harvey fan. She is a total goddess.

I would love to use it but it doesn't go with my surname (and DH would veto it for reasons of me being a sad fangirl)

DH would like to use the middle name Lillian but think its to many L sounds....Polly Jean is nice.....or Polly Marie....

love it. I wouldn't go for Molly though, and Holly is Ok, but Polly is fabulous. Pretty but strong too. Maybe, maybe I'd put Penelope on bc and use Polly for short.

Nice name, we had a family friend called Polly and she didn't appear to suffer from it (very cheerful she was).

JBS75 · 22/05/2009 22:03

Polly is a fantastic name. Do you have any ideas for middle names? Anything family-related or special to you?

epithet · 22/05/2009 20:47

I have a Polly. We haven't had any adverse reactions/comments/dodgy nicknames/parrot references at all - she's in Reception now.

I loved the name when I gave it to her, and it just keeps on growing on me - really suits her. I say go for it .

i really like it too

bamboobutton · 21/05/2009 08:25

this is my name! and IMVHO it's the best name ever

yes, i had the polly put the kettle on stuff but it never bothered me.

MrsMattie · 21/05/2009 08:21

Really like it. Was ion my list of names for DD but DH vetoed it. It makes me think of PJ Harvey (is that a good thing? ). Lovely name.

smurfgirl · 20/05/2009 22:31

I really like it. We have a couple of friends called Polly and they are all very different and all carry it well (if that makes sense).

MrsMcCluskey · 20/05/2009 22:28

I t was on my list of girls names. Love it!

suwoo · 20/05/2009 22:17
