Can Paul have a dd called Polly?

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

I had this in baby names but apparently in an English accent Paul and Polly sound different.

So, in the west of Scotland, can I have a dd Polly if DH is called Paul?

Personally unless you want everyone to think she was named after her dad, I wouldn't.

Imagine you were introducing them to someone, "this is Paul and this is Polly..." Also given the habit of adding "ie" onto virtually all names in the West e.g. Davie, Robbie, Jackie etc I would find it a bit weird.

What about Sally, Penny, Florrie, Kitty, Kizzy, Annie, Betsy, Jenny, Patsy - all have a similar vibe if that's the type of name you were going for.

We liked Penny for a while but I changed my mind. See I do call DH Pauly sometimes. I don't think we can use it

I don't think we can use it

Unless you ditch him and get baby a new Daddy....or would he change his name? :o

From now on he shall be known as Bob

Bobby surely?? or is that Boaby??

I say Bobby not Boaby Boaby is very glaswegian. I'm further west than that

And Boaby will always only be the barman in the Clansman on Still Game

I'm originally east coast and now a bit North of the Central belt so the subtleties of glaswegian geographical accents still mostly escape me :)

...and Still Game ahhhh might need a wee trip down memory lane on netflix later.

Nope I wouldn't. What about Poppy?

Big pauly and wee polly?

It's a bit Nigel and Nigella Lawson.

What's with the predilection for P's?

Which isn't good.

Molly?

Oh good name OldCrow

Sorry OP but I was trying to think if Polly is a diminutive and it reminded me of Steve Coogan's terrible brother and sister characters Paul and Pauline Calf.
