good comments in general.....it seems to stand out amongst the sea of molly's, rosie's and ellie's (which i love incidently, having a ten yr old one myself...) yet still have the same sort of vibe if you know what i mean....

very cute

Really nice - kids pick on anything, definitely not a reason to choose a dreary name in favour of something nice!

Love it too. It's in my top few names for Gadsbaby.

had an immediate "love it" response. really nice - pretty, different, but can take a serious job (Polly Toynbee - who was actually born Mary apparently)

noddyholder · 20/05/2009 08:38

lovely

my association would be the nirvana song, which isn't exactly a barrel of laughs.

Tortington · 20/05/2009 06:58

it can be used for any manner of prefix meaning 'many' please think about that

Tortington · 20/05/2009 06:57

its really nice - but would you realy start your kids life off giving her a nick name that is going to haunt her throughout her school days

whilst i realise the consensus is that kids will pick n anything

my feeling is we dont make it easy by giving our children names synonimous with a famous nursery rhyme, crack filler and a parrot!

polly put the kettle on..... polly..filler, polly the parrot...
