Help[Facts] Re: Mary Polly?
in reply to a message by Elena
I've never heard of a Mary Polly, no. I think that your first explanation is quite plausible - They would have wrote down Mary and then the nickname following it, and as a result the names together look to you and I like a redunadant combo.
Most people then would have been well aware of the origins of Polly, I imagine, as it wasn't too uncommon.
