[Opinions] Re: Dolly/Dot
Ah yes, another one of "those". No, I didn't know that. Nor would I imagine a lot of people my age and younger would. And so whether or not it was originally logical, it would still seem far-fetched to a lot of people. (It was probably me who said that about Polly and Mary too.) My opinion remains unchanged, but thanks for the info.Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

Ah yes, another one of "those". What does this mean, precisely?I don't remember at all who has said that Polly doesn't make sense as a nickname for Mary, but it has been more than one person.You're welcome. I know that I'm always grateful to learn something about a subject of interest to me.

I guess "those" just meant a name with a nickname that has a logical explanation at the time that is was originally used but now doesn't seem very logical to me at all.
