Too cutesy. Not suitable for an adult.

Short for Mary traditionally, not originally a stand alone name. not a problem in itself but for context.

blackteasplease · 14/03/2018 23:45

And yes I know its longer than Mary!

AnyaMoondial · 15/03/2018 02:00

I'd think I'd heard the greatest name ever! I love it! Dh didn't though sadly.

Choccywoccyhooha · 15/03/2018 02:30

Lovely name. Fits any stage of life. Reminds me of a giri went to school with who was always smiling and optimistic.

ladybirdsaredotty · 15/03/2018 11:56

I used to think it was a bit frilly but now I know 2 (an adult and an 8 year old) I like it! It suits both of them, sounds nice Smile

I’m sure it was Molly who had a sick dolly where I grew up! That or I was singing it incorrectly.

I can’t imagine a Polly older than 5.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 15/03/2018 12:46

My lovely grandmother. I would totally have used it but it sounds ridiculous with dh's surname!

Purpledahlia88 · 15/03/2018 12:48

I think of amy childs and her daughter (towie)

...put the kettle on.
TBH I would have been thrilled as a child to think everyone knew a song about me 😂

LastNightsMakeUp · 15/03/2018 14:48

Also this thread has blown my mind... I though Miss Molly had a dolly who was sick!!!!

Polly pocket.

I imagine someone a bit ditzy.

I'm glad people like it!
We're decided. But can't choose between Polly Mabel and Polly Elizabeth.

Love it.

Have a very cool beautiful friend called Polly.

TatianaLarina · 17/03/2018 12:18

Not suitable for an adult

Tell Polly Toynbee that.

PuppyMonkey · 17/03/2018 12:19

I quite like it. Lol at “not suitable for an adult.”

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/03/2018 12:20

Love it.

Polly Mabel

daisypond · 17/03/2018 13:07

Polly Elizabeth.

IVflytrap · 17/03/2018 13:14

I like Polly Mabel. I don't like the repeating L sounds in Polly Elizabeth.

TatianaLarina · 17/03/2018 13:15

Polly Elizabeth has better alliteration.

Plus Mabel sucks.

KarineAimee · 17/03/2018 22:33

An awesome friend of mine! So sad we can't have Polly with our surname.

KarineAimee · 17/03/2018 22:34

And having RTFT - Polly Elizabeth!
