[Opinions] Re: Polly
I used to really like Poppy but ultimately removed it from my list because I hate how it sounds in my Chicago accent. Plus, I call my grandfather papa and it sounds a little too similar. Likewise, I don’t think Poppy sounds good / works for many Americans and that might be where the widespread dislike comes from on this bored? Otherwise, I know a lot of people just find it too cutesy.Please rate my lists. All of them are ratable except for the Main list and the Surname list. :)Link: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/174843/136906This isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure.

I have a Chicago accent too and I don't think it sounds ugly in our accent :)

You know, I just recorded myself saying it a few times and I guess it really isn’t so bad. I think I’ve just been conditioned here in Texas to think that certain sounds sound weird / bad when I say them
