Well, Polly. Obviously

DramaAlpaca · 26/03/2022 15:25

Polly.

FannylovesDick · 26/03/2022 15:26

Cherry Maria sounds like a cocktail drink.

Luredbyapomegranate · 26/03/2022 15:34

Polly

Cherry is a bit dodgy

MrsGHarrison87 · 26/03/2022 15:36

I do actually quite like Cherry. I don't know if I'd use it though and don't think it goes with Maria.

SeasonFinale · 26/03/2022 15:36

Polly.

Tia

TheDuchessOfMN · 26/03/2022 15:45

Maria is far nicer than either names

EnjoyingTheSilence · 26/03/2022 15:52

Polly

PasDevantLesElephants · 26/03/2022 15:53

I speak as a former Polly. Don't do it, it's awful.

Loopytiles · 26/03/2022 15:54

Neither name goes with Maria.

Cherry Maria sounds like ice cream.

Maria Cherry could work though!

Polly Maria

Ladylornax12 · 26/03/2022 15:57

Cherry Maria sounds like a drag queen, so I vote Polly!

KineticSand · 26/03/2022 15:58

Please not Cherry

SunshineAndFizz · 26/03/2022 15:59

Polly. Not a Cherry fan.

Polly Maria

cherryonthecakes · 26/03/2022 16:03

I like Cherry but when coupled with Maria ,it makes me think of a cocktail.

Soul11Soul · 26/03/2022 16:05

Just Maria. It's a beautiful name alone.

Hadjab · 26/03/2022 16:06

Umm, neither, if I’m honest.

ofwarren · 26/03/2022 16:10

Polly because Cherry Maria sounds like a cocktail

1forAll74 · 26/03/2022 16:14

Neither. I have a friend who calls her Parrot Polly though.

EdgeOfSeventeenAndThreeQuarter · 26/03/2022 16:18

Am I the only one slightly disappointed that this isn’t a new Ben & Jerry’s flavour?

RoostasTowel · 26/03/2022 16:34

Maria

Summerfun54321 · 26/03/2022 16:35

What’s the Maria? A middle name or double barrelled first name?

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/03/2022 16:36

It's one of those threads where the OP has a very specific view of what their DD will be. Cute, quirky, sweet.

Names need to be flexible, so your dour, stoic, sensible child isn't lumbered with Cherry FGS.
