Pollyanna

[Roopoo]

How about Pollyanna??
Already have 1 DD called Matilda (Tilly)

Oh gawd it's awful imo.

Twee and sickly sweet and just....boke.

Nuff said

Why am I so rubbish at thinking of names this time round....

Polly - nice

Anna - nice

Pollyanna - not nice

I was going to make a similar link to BunnyLebowski. Pollyanna was a character in a children's book by Eleanor H Porter who was relentlessly optimistic in a really sickening fashion (IMO). It also sounds like a name you'd give a rag doll. Not keen in the slightest.

Don't do it!

"I'm so glad that someone has chosen this name for a daughter. It will give other people something to laugh at"

(I'm really sorry I couldn't resist )

Im blaming my hormones.........

runs away to hide....

uh, no.

No

The one Pollyanna I know is always called Polly.

No. the one I knew was a bl*y nightmare. Plus the book is nauseating. "Oooh, look I've got crutches! Oooh, I can practise "being glad" because I don'tneedthem!!"

Boak.

No, sorry

Polly is lovely, I have one! You can always call her Pollyanna as a NN as my FIL does (though it kinda grates on me a bit when he does it...)

I knew a Pollyanna - she lived up to the name , she was a tosser. Don't do it.

No. There was a girl with that name at University. Everytime one of the lecturers had to call her/talk to her, you could see he was trying not to laugh/smirk etc.

Polly or Anna would be lovely.

Oh God, no.
Polly on the other hand is lovely.

No, it's actually an insult if you look it up in the dictionary.

How about Carrieanne? Julianna? Mariella? Magdalena?

What is Polly short for anyway? Is it Margaret?

Pamela?

You cannot be serious

My very good friend has just become a Dad for the first time. His little girl is called Pollyanna. It really suits her actually.

It has plenty of pretty nns too. I like it.

Bit like the male Jonah. Used as an insult and has an unfortunate namesake but still a great name and transcends the reputation, imo.

Matilda's lovely too. You have impeccable taste.

Tilly and Jenny
Tilly and Freya
Tilly and Isobel

errrr....no

No WAY!!!!!!! I love the name, same as Rubella and Varicella. But the whole Cassandra and Pollyanna thing makes it unusable in my opinion. Pollyanna would be lovely for a very cheerful bet. (shame, cos it's nice, but ykwim)
