HelpRe: Polly and Sukie
in reply to a message by Manipura
Put the kettle on and took it off again!
I like them both. I love the idea of a Polly that is short for one of those grand Greek names like Polyxena or Polymnia.
Sukie is fun and retro. I've never met one but it's always seemed kind of artistic and edgy to me. A lot of those rather babyish diminutives strike me that way, I'm not sure why - like I could easily see a Sukie with purple hair and aggressively modern jewelry at a party telling people about the inherent political violence of 16th century Dutch still lifes or something. Also a Mitzi, a Betsy, a Kiki, a Mimi, a Dodie or Dottie or Lottie.....names like that.

That's hilarious!
I think I see what you mean about those kinds of names seeming kinda "creative class"-ish, aggressively feminist.
Like a postgraduate version of names like Riley and Piper.
Maybe that isn't what you mean but that's what I can get from them if I try.
