Help[Opinions] Pollyanna
Am I a fool for falling in love with this moniker? If so, then I embrace my foolishness with fervor. What a disarmingly sweet, delightfully old-world fusion of names! I understand that it's impractical (both in use and, literally, in meaning), but I can't help but adore it.
I really enjoy it as a middle name. Which of these combos appeal to you?

I'm not a fan. I find it cutesy and twee and little girlish. Polly? Go ahead. Anna? If you really must. Polly with the middle name Anna... cheesy, but easily overlooked... but the actual name? No. I have a bit of a block on it, to be honest. I think it can be forgiven as a middle name in that you can use it but the poor girl doesn't have to go through life broadcasting it as (part of) her name unless she really loves it.
I like:
Beatrice Pollyanna - because I'm a sucker for Beatrice.
Iris Pollyanna
Lucile Pollyanna
Mathilde Pollyanna
Rose Pollyanna
Susan Pollyanna
Vivien Pollyanna

I ADORE Pollyanna and SOOOO wish it were more usable! Glad to know there's someone out there who's as foolish as me :)
It doesn't really strike me as a MN but I do like...
Beatrice Pollyanna
Iris Pollyanna
^(These are so bright and bouncy!)
Edith Pollyanna
Hester Pollyanna
^(These really benefit from Pollyanna's warmth and freshness)

I find it too twee. Pollyanna would only wear plaid dresses with white ankle socks and have plaits in her hair!
I suppose it's not too bad as a middle name.

I don't really like Pollyanna, especially considering that the name has gained another meaning (someone who's way too optimistic). Sorry.

I really enjoy it as well. I think I might be a bit of a sucker for retro pop culture names. It certainly makes a statement!
I love these:
Edith Pollyanna - The idea of an "Edie Pollyanna" makes my heart flutter
Edna Pollyanna - Edna is an adorable name, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can see that
Enid Pollyanna
Fern Pollyanna - I think THIS might be MY favourite! :)
Frances Pollyanna
Ingrid Pollyanna - this is striking indeed
Iris Pollyanna
Jane Pollyanna - the epitome of good cheer I think
Lucile Pollyanna - is Lucy Pollyanna too girlish? I really like the idea of Lucy Pollyanna
Zelda Pollyanna - I bet she'd be a riot at parties

You're a fool. But I love fools. :-)
I agree that the flow of Ingrid Pollyanna is nice. I just can't get over Haley Mills in those starched dresses and the whole sickeningly sweet aura of it all. It has other overtones for me personally that I can't get over. Sorry.
P.S. Please keep up your polls. I look forward to them. Voters on that page don't get enough variety in their name diets.
