Polly Maria or Cherry Maria

[chattycaterpillar]

Polly Maria or Cherry Maria, which would you go for ?

Polly, by itself, as long as Maria is only a middle name and not part of the first name

Sound like a lip gloss sorry

Polly Maria sounds like a medical term.

Cherry is stripper or vagina (popped her cherry) so please don’t

Polly, but without the Maria. Or just Maria.

@Luredbyapomegranate

Polly

Cherry is a bit dodgy

Thank you @luredbyapomegranate My daughter is called Cherry and she’s definitely not dodgy.

Polly makes me think of a parrot

RippleQueen my daughter is also Cherry, although it is not her given name, it's what we call her. It suits her and she is not remotely dodgy. I like both Polly and Cherry tbh but am less keen on the Maria

I don't really like Polly and Maria together because Polly is tradiitonally a pet name for Mary, and Maria is a variant of Mary.

Cherry is OK.

What about Poppy? Poppy Maria sounds lovely.

I like Cherry.

@PasDevantLesElephants

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

@PasDevantLesElephants it’s better than Cherry though, innit.

@Luredbyapomegranate Can't disagree with that. Shall we just agree they're both unacceptable?

Chloe Maria?

@RippleQueen I’m sure your daughter is delightful but lots of people would find Cherry an odd name choice, eg Pp above and several others. You must have known what popping your Cherry meant when you chose it, so you have to expect it will come up.

Lets!

I think Polly is sweet, but I wouldn’t want to be called as an adult, I admit..

I know of a Pauline nicknamed Polly. So Pauline Maria, or Paula Maria, nicknamed Polly?

Awful awful.

Chérie maybe?

Cherry is terrible.

Polly is quite sweet.

Maria doesn’t really go with either.

@herecomesthehotsteppa

Awful awful.

Chérie maybe?

Hmm. Cherie is a bit.... blair blah

Sorry OP but I think both are awful

I'm not keen on either. Cherry sounds cute in theory but has unpleasant slang connotations. Polly is traditionally a nickname for Mary (even though they sound nothing alike) and Mary is a form of Maria so essentially you've got two forms of the same name, similar to "Betty Eliza" or something. If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

I love Cherry! But not with Maria as it does sound a bit like a drink.

Cherry Maria sounds like a disgusting alcopop that Stacey off Gavin and Stacey would drink.

None of the above

Neither

@Musmerian

Polly is actually short for Mary - which is itself the anglicised form of Maria. So why not call her Maria but use Polly as her nickname?

Agree with this, And Cherry is dreadful as a name, at least give her a full name that can be shortened or lengthened if your DD hates it.
