Polly.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 26/04/2026 17:05

Eden or Polly.

Eden is my daughter's name, everyone comments on it! Amber also beautiful !

rokama · 26/04/2026 17:09

Polly is too popular, IMO.

Amber and Eden are both beautiful names.

Polly seems a bit of a little girl name to work for an adult. Amber and Eden are both lovely - I prefer Amber.

Polly.

I’m not a fan of Polly. Amber and Eden are both nice.

Polly

luckylavender · 26/04/2026 17:14

I know adult Pollys. Eden could be a boy and I think Amber is a dog’s name.

Love Polly and Eden…..both of which I considered for my DD.

Amber is ok, if I’d had a baby in my teens it would have been on the list.

mugglewump · 26/04/2026 17:21

I like Polly and Amber, but Eden - although lovely - is definitely a boy's name.

GoodVibesHere · 26/04/2026 17:23

Anything but Polly! Polly is either a maid or a parrot.

Delici · 26/04/2026 17:24

Polly is lovely. I know a 60 something year old Polly and a 7 year old Polly.

Amber is my least favourite. It’s very dated , 90’s?

Charliede1182 · 26/04/2026 17:24

I like Amber. I like Eden too but it makes me think of cheese - I know that's Edam but it's too similar.

Peanutlicious · 26/04/2026 17:25

I like Eden

Eden is not a commonly used boys name though. Regardless, I don't see the problem with giving your child a unisex name.

It’s 50 50 in the ones I’ve met. Of course it’s not a reason, we’re all different.

Polly is too cutesy as an adult name

Amber and Eden are beautiful, probably would go with Eden as it’s a bit more unusual

TheeNotoriousPIG · 26/04/2026 20:23

Rather unhelpfully, I like them all!

Polly sounds like a quirky but interesting child and woman.
I haven't met many girls called Amber, and only a boy called Eden, but they're both nice names.

NamingNoNames · 26/04/2026 20:35

Polly. Amber is nice but not as classy. Eden is not nice or classy.

Brownbear8 · 26/04/2026 21:08

Polly but prefer Poppy.

Not keen on Amber or Eden. Don’t sound as classy or timeless.

Laiste · 26/04/2026 21:25

Amber 😊

Its the second name of one of my DDs.

Norastroud · 26/04/2026 21:33

I think Amber is my favourite followed closely by Polly.

drspouse · 26/04/2026 21:34

I'm in my 50s and was at school with a Polly who is now a solicitor.
Amber and Eden will date badly.
