Polly?

[BasilFaulty]

What do you think?
Any thoughts welcome!

I like it, but it's a bit cutesy.

I like it

It's your choice at the end of the day if you love it go for it!

I love Mollie, and like Holly, but I just don't like Polly.

I adore it. But I also have the universally hated Poppy (she is 14)

Thank you all!

It's weird isn't it how one name has such different connotations for people.

Love the name Polly! Really beautiful and not heard very often

I like it. Also like Penny

I do really like it,

But it reminds me of "Mrs Polly had a dolly"

Or if I headed someone shouting "Polly, Polly" I would instantly think they're shouting a budgie.

I love polly . Gorgeous name

It's OK. I prefer Molly.

I've always liked it and wondered why there are so few Pollys when there are so very many Hollys and Mollys.

I think it's awful. Twee, weak and cutesy.

Not to my taste. Lacks substance.

Twee and a bit odd.

I love Polly.

Dreadful imo all I think of is pocket and put the kettle on. Very babyish. Can't see an adult Polly at all.

My adult bf was Polly. She was strong clever and very funny. Sadly no longer with us but a great girl.

A family friend is called Polly, all grown up now and hasn't changed it so I'm guessing it works for her. I think Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf, although Pretty Polly and Polly put the kettle on do come to mind too.

Very twee,

I like it. Makes me think of a homespun, patchwork quilt type of person but is less cutesy than the Daisy/Maisies.

The test for cute sounding names is imagining them in a highly professional context ‘Finance Director, Polly Smith’ sounds ok to me. ‘Daisy Smith’ less so.

Do you like the name because it's in Fawlty Towers? Judging by your username....

I like it. I worked with a Polly years ago whose name was Pauline

I’d use it as a nickname for something else...Polina, Paulina, Apollonia, Apolline...

I like it.

I’d love to know how it evolved from Mary!
