Polly or Zara?

[Strawberrymoonx]

Just found out baby no3 is a girl. Already have two boys with traditional names. We are between two names Polly and Zara. Which do you prefer? Middle name will be Jean after family member

Zara for me. Polly sounds way too 'cutesie' or twee.

Zara Jean is very cool 😎

Two extremes there: one a maids name, one a princess!

Polly always reminds me of a parrot or farts (“who let polly out of prison”)!🤣

Zara is nice and classy with no negative connotations.

I do prefer Zara by far but Zara Jean sounds similar to Zara Jeans as in Jeans from the clothes shop Zara. Or am I looking into it too much?! Could there be another middle name in between the Zara and Jean?

Zara Jean isn't as bad as Polly Jean (polythene) well spotted to the poster that clocked that one. Because once you hear it you can't unhear it.

Polly. Can’t stand Zara.

Polly

I love both!

Love Polly but DH vetoed it. Definitely Polly

Both nice. I love Polly.

Both are nice

I think Zara Jean if I had to choose

Zara.

Zara by a mile.

Polly. I know lots of Zaras. Both names are nice.

Polly is too cutesy for me and Zara too fashion shop. Penelope nn penny? Or what about Sarah?

I don't find Polly cutesy at all. I think it sounds quite no-nonsense.

Nooo neither - Polly is a parrot and Zara sells women's clothes. Liked the idea of Poppy as an alternative.

Much prefer Zara, it’s much cooler than Polly and works well for all ages.

Zara is pretty and I think would be an easy name to live with, so would be my choice of the two. I can’t help but feel you’d need to be really cool to pull off Polly - as it’s so linked to childish things (Polly Pocket, the Parrot, Miss Polly had a Dolly). It would be great on the right girl though!

I have a 16 year old Polly and I did worry it wouldn't suit a teen when she was tiny, but it's actually really does and she's never met another.

Love Zara, do not like Polly.

Definitely Zara, polly is not for me

Zara!

I always think that too and for me it’s Polly!

Same. Zara just sounds too....blunt to me. Sharp and blunt.

Polly sounds lovely.
