Comments for POLLY:
In America, Polly is a sterotypical name for a pet parrot (sort of the avian equivalent of Rover or Fido). The phrase "Polly want a cracker" is the stereotypical "talking bird" line in movies.-- WeloveyouJesseLacey 11/12/2005

How can you have a pet form of a name that is a pet form of a name? And how do you get Polly from Molly?-- bibi66 5/13/2007
Just like you get "Peggy" from Margaret through Meg. I forgot where the m/p thing came from though. And your first question is too dumb to answer.-- Anonymous User 6/8/2007
I am called Polly and I'm in two minds about it beacuse it's pretty old fashioned but individual in a nice kind of way and it's not like it's totally unheard of. Sometimes it can be embarrasing though because you have to repeat your name about 7 times before somebody gets it right - I get called Holly, Molly, Pauline, Paulie, Dolly and sometimes Connie!-- Polly.C 9/5/2007
Aunt Polly is Tom Sawyer's aunt in the famous Mark Twain book.-- jj21jj 10/26/2007
I don't really like this name at all. It reminds me either of Polly Pocket, who kind of creeps me out, or of Polly the Parrot. Hmmmmm. Either a creepy miniature doll or an annoying egotistic bird.-- livieluvbug 12/1/2007
Polly Wright, a companion of the First and Second Doctors on "Doctor Who".-- FMRadio 2/2/2008
I have always hated this name. It sounds flat out ugly. This would probably have been a good name for a wallflower-y, unattractive, and boring character in some stories from the 1950s. I can't imagine anyone using it today. At least Molly is kind of cute, even if a bit too girly.-- slight night shiver 5/2/2008
I've always liked Polly, it's cute and just a fun name! Molly is a bit girly for me. I like Polly better. I think it's adorable! I love this name! I think it's uncommon these days and cute. Anyway it's better then the ever popular Hannah or Emily.-- abcolleenz79 7/17/2008
I think it will be hard to shake off the parrot association.-- bananarama 8/14/2008
Wow, I can't believe no one has mentioned Sweet Polly Purebred, the girlfriend of Underdog! Doesn't anyone remember that show?
I used to have a doll named Polly when I was little, maybe about 4 or 5.-- _0TophasNails_1 11/16/2008
"Brawk! Brawk! Polly wanna cracker?"
I can't imagine how many times someone would have to endure that shouted in their faces, even after they get out of school and playground teasing.-- MoonAgeDaydreamer 12/30/2008
You won't be taken too seriously with this name.-- Kerules 4/5/2009
So sweet!-- vomiting 6/12/2009

There is the nursery rhyme Polly Put the Kettle On.-- Anonymous User 3/22/2010
I rather like this unusual name, maybe because I am a PJ Harvey fan! I think Polly Jean sounds better than just Polly though. Interesting to think that 'Polly Jean' is a variant of 'Mary Jane', the latter sounds very old fashioned girly-girl to me, whilst the former sounds a lot cooler!-- claredelalune 5/3/2010
This has always seemed old-fashioned to me.-- Joy12 5/23/2011
