[Opinions] Re: Martha, Sally, and Betsy
in reply to a message by Caroline
The compulsive part of me says that if one full name is used, then all children should have full names. Also, I think I find Polly more interesting so I prefer that to Sally. I've only known one person named Polly (Polly Annabell, to be exact -- she hates Annabell).
BTW, I adore Elizabeth (nn Betsy) and considered that for Anna. It sounds dreadful with our surname so dh and I briefly toyed with Libby yet our hearts weren't really in it.

Ha, yes, the joys of being anal retentive.
I agree re: Polly Annabel. It is really cute. I just hate my friend's spelling, Annabell, which I don't get. Annabel, yes. Annabelle, yes. I think she was named after a relative and thus, the wonky spelling. Actually, Annabell influenced our naming Anna. DH especially loved it (still does) and hadn't known many women named Anne or Anna so there 'ya go.
