Polly as an alternative to Holly

[Ellen35]

Well I thought I'd narrowed it down to 3, Matilda, Annabel or Elsie but I still love Holly. I can't use as DH's sister has a dog called Holly and he's a bit funny about it. So what are your thoughts on Polly as an alternative? Not keen on Molly.
Thanks. I would love to make a firm decision soon. 7 weeks to go

Polly is lovely. In my view it's so so much nicer than Holly (and Molly).
From your list I'd be deciding between Polly and Elsie (though Matilda and Annabel are perfectly fine as well) and would probably pick Polly.

My DS2 would have been Polly if he were a DD.

I love it!

I love Polly. With the 'y' ending it ought to be cutesy but for some reason I don't find it so. I much prefer it to Holly and Molly. I'd call her Polly Matilda

Infinitely prefer Holly, Annabel or Matilda to Polly or Elsie.

Love it. Much nicer than Molly.

I love Polly

Love it. I know a lot of Hollys and Mollys but only one Polly (and she's an adult). It's a lovely name

Polly is much, much nicer than Holly.

Dolly

Polly is really nice

Do you like Polly Elizabeth as Elizabeth is DHs fave name

Polly SO much nicer than Holly or Molly!

Really classy x

Sorry, just makes me think of the phrase "Polly want a cracker?", but maybe that's more of an American thing.

She will spend her life being asked to put the kettle on.

Love polly and annabel!

You could have a Hilly, nn from Hilary. It's quite sweet too/

Prolly is great. I only know two: a 40 year old and an 18 year old. Hugely prefer it to Molly.

I like Holly but not keen on Polly as I think of Polly Parrot and Polly put the kettle on. Like Elizabeth, out of other 3 like Annabel the best - don't like Matilda though do like Tilly.

Love Polly! I much prefer it to Holly and Molly.

Polly Elizabeth is absolutely lovely.

Could even go for Polydora Elizabeth if you wanted.

Polly - I think of PJ Harvey so for me it's a cool, adult name which is also cute on a child.

Dislike Polly, really like Matilda or Annabel.

It’s fine, wouldn’t go for it myself and I can’t get away from the parrot association! I prefer Holly, many animals have proper names so you could well meet one called polly at some stage, I wouldn’t let that put you off. Of the others I like Matilda best by a long way

Much prefer Polly to Holly. It’s my favourite of all your suggestions.

Polly would have been my number 1 choice if it didn’t sound ridiculous with my surname.
In the end we went for Annabel so we have quite similar taste.

Yes to Polly.
