Iss polly had a dolly who was sick sick sick so she called for the doctor to be quick quick quick the doctor came with his bag and his hat and he knocked on the door with a ratter tat tat he looked at the dolly and he shook his head so he said miss polly put her straight to bed i will give you a paper for a pill pill pill ill be back in the morning yes i will will will. THAT IS ALL I THINK OF LOL!

I don't mind Polly as a nn, but I don't really like it as a given name. I'd suggest Paula, Pauline, Paulette, Apollinariya or Apolline with Polly as a nn.

I don't think it's awful (at least it's properly spelled and not bordering on idiocy, like a lot of new baby names are these days...), even though it's not my style. It's OK, but it's still too much of a nickname to me. I prefer it as a nn for Apollonia.

Polly is cute. My great grandmother was Polly (short for Mary). I love seeing names revived, so this is right up my alley.

I was just watching a TV show where a character was named Polly. Or at least that's what I thought until the wedding scene. "Do you, Leopoldina, take this man . . . " Leopoldina, nn Polly = my kind of fun!

Other possible formal names: Paulina / Pauline / Paula, Apollonia, Polaris / Polaire.

My grandmother is Polly! I think it's adorable for an old woman or a baby. It needs a sull name for the inbetween years.
Pauline
Pollyanna

I don't like it at all! I much prefer Molly!

I think Polly is fine. I love it as a nn. What about Polina nn Polly?

I kind of like it, though I prefer Pauline, "Paulie."

I love Polly, especially as a nickname (Apollonia is my favourite, but Mary, Pauline, etc., too). I think it's very sweet and old-fashioned without a current revival, like Betsy and Mamie and Dinah.

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.

I like it. I know a little girl who is about 5-7 named Polly, very sweet. I think if she wants to use Polly she should go for it!

---

There are two things that come to mind when I see this name. First is the song "Polly" by Nirvana, about a girl being raped and tortured and then there is "Polly want a cracker,".

---

I think its rather boring and plain.

I like it, actually. It needs a longer name, but it's a very cute nickname! Pair it with a longer name, and call her Polly, so she has something to fall back on later.
