[Opinions] Re: Polly, Pollyanna, Apollonia?
in reply to a message by Narinoc
I like Apollonia, very sophisticated.
But if you're NEVER going to call her anything but Polly, I would use Polly as the formal name. Molly also originated as a nn for Mary, but I think Molly can stand alone as a name now.
