More advice on girls names!

[elizbake]

It will be the first time I will be naming a girl, and need a bit of advice... So far, we have Polly,Martha and Agatha( dh not keen but I think it is lovely) any comments welcomed!

I like polly! I thought we were going to name our LO Polly if we had a girl!

Like Agatha from your list, and Aggie is a really cute nickname for a little girl. Polly is alright, but a bit boring.

I love Agatha. Dh loved Martha for our DD, but I veto'd it - just a bit old and dull for me. Polly I like. What about Estelle?
Do you have a middle name in mind?

Agatha is lovely, as is Martha. Polly is dull, dull, dull.

If you like old fashioned names, what about Maud? (You know, come into the garden.....)

Glad to hear all the positives for Agatha! Middle name will be Mary...just feel that when the time comes I may just play safe and go for Polly, but I can't seem to get Agatha out of my head!!

Agatha not exactly a strange name, nice and traditional without being boring like Polly.

I hate how people describe names as boring! How can a name be boring? Do other unboring names get up and dance around the page you write them on?Polly isn't a boring name!

I like Constance too as I liked the nick name Connie.

Go for Polydora, and Polly for short.

None of those are really to my taste, sorry.

I have a friend called Polly (short for Olivia). One of the least boring people I know so struggle to see Polly as a boring name.

I love Martha out of your list. Not keen on Agatha, sorry, and Polly reminds me of Polly Put The Kettle On.

What about Marta? That is gorgeous

I love Agatha nn Aggie is just super cute.

Not keen on Polly at all. Sorry

I agree with jaffacakehips

Martha is my fav - lovely.

Polly is ok.

Not keen on Agatha but like Aggie as a nn - what about Agnes? I know a very cool little Agnes who gets called Aggie... Or Maggie (Margaret)?

I thought Polly was traditionally short for Mary so not sure about it with Mary as a mn. Might be wrong though.

I love Martha (it's very high on our list, thought doesn't work with pre-determined middle name). Polly's pretty...not at all keen on Agatha I'm afraid, but it's one that will always split people...

'though it', not 'thought'!

I know a Polly and she is anything but boring! A name is what the person makes it.

I love it...would be on my list if I could.

Polly Mary is a fab name.

LOVE Polly and very likely about to call one of the twins exactly that. Never met a nasty/boring Polly - all lovely people, so maybe that colours it!

Pollyanna!

I like them all. I think I like Agatha best.

Thanks for all your responses.Think we have ruled out Martha, so it's between Agatha and Polly..got another 15 weeks or so to mull it over!
