Something like Martha which I love but can't use.

Any ideas?

I have a Martha and 2 other dd's called Bridget and Esther so hopefully on the same wavelength?
I also loved Vivienne, Agatha and Nancy.
Good luck picking the name!

Rose

In fact no, you can't have Rose cause it's mine...all mine. (Well, DD's.)

In fact after 3 dd's I had a son and EVERYONE assumed (wrongly) that I was desperate for a boy - when he came out the very first thing I thought was "oh my Vivienne isn't to be then!"
Always makes me laugh to think that was my first reaction Smile

I have a toddler Polly, and I love her name but it does get a little annoying when people hear it as either Holly or Poppy and I have to correct them.

They do then usually say, 'how lovely, you don't hear that often nowadays' in fairness.

Her nickname is also Pocket or Poppet as when she was born my dad misheard my sister joking about Polly Pocket and started introducing her as Polly Poppet to everyone! Grin

god, sorry for the waffle!

tinsel, I know exactly what you mean, only today the preschool leader called her 'Poppy' during the little hello song they do Angry

Does your Polly have this book and this one ? My Polly's favourites! Grin

Yes!!!! We have Princess Polly's Potty in this house! She thinks it's about her esp as she has an older brother too Grin

She's not v interested in potty training yet though, sadly.
