Middle Name for Polly

groovylocksgroovylocks member
edited June 2015 in Baby Names
So we've decided that at present, we're most keen on Polly for our kid if she turns out to be a girl. It's the name of a relation and we feel it has some personal importance to us. We realize it's actually a diminutive of Mary but we're not doing that. Her proper first name would be Polly. The one issue with this name is that it's a bitch to pair with anything. We've come up with a few _ok_ middle names.. but are very open to suggestions. Our last name is one syllable, two letters.

EDIT: It seems i can't edit the post but i missed a name in the poll - Polly Meredith

    I really like the pp suggestion of Polly Renee.

    Polly is so feminine and Renee has a such a strong sound i think they work really well together!

    Polly Catherine
    Polly Amelia
    Polly Jemima
    Polly Meredith
    Polly Alexandra
    Polly Martha

    I voted Clara but I find all of them overly girly for such a feminine first name, I think a stronger middle name would work better.

    I also like Polly Meredith, but Polly Jane is nice too.

    I wouldn't do Polly Annah.... it's too close to Pollyanna (like the Disney movie). I'm also not fond of the spelling Annah, just looks wrong.

    I loooove Polly Jane! Plus PJ as a family NN is cute. Just no Rose. Rose is the new filler. Yuck.

    I also like Polly Meredith, and the suggestion of Polly Renee. I agree that Polly sounds best with a non frilly middle name.

    Other suggestions:

    Polly Elizabeth
    Polly Katherine
    Polly June
    Polly Marie
    Polly Frances
    Polly Josephine
    Polly Simone

    If I used the name Annah for anything, it would be spelled that way because I'd be naming her after a close friend. Who spells it Annah. You're right, it's not my preferred way either.

    I like Frances a lot. Marie is one of my favourite names but unfortunately it doesn't work with our last name.

    I like Polly Meredith. Also, Polly is a diminutive of Pauline as well (never heard it in relation to Mary), so *if* you felt like you wanted an option, you could do Pauline NN Polly. And just no to Annah.

    I agree Pauline or Paulina would be a good choice with nn Polly.
    But of your options, I like Polly Meredith the best.

    The only polly i know is an older lady and it suits her quite well so I'm not too worried about that. In terms of how it ages, I feel it's probably most incongruent with teenagers. It'll be awkward for her in her teen years which is why we want a good middle name so she has some options.

    . I'll let my mother know you disapprove of her name (50+ year old woman going by Polly and all).
