Pollie

Pollie is a sweet diminutive of Pauline, itself the feminine form of Paul, originating from the Latin word 'paulus' meaning 'small.' This charming name first appeared in records around the late 19th century, gaining popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s, before gently receding from common use.

When you imagine calling out 'Pollie' across a park, it sounds like a cheerful invitation, a bright spark in the afternoon sun. This name carries a sense of unassuming joy and a lightness that will be so freeing for your child as she navigates the world. You'll find yourself smiling when you write it on her baby blanket, knowing its gentle spirit.
