POLLY (f): An extremely popular nickname (often used as its own name) formed from MARY, by the same initial M-to-P linguistic process that produces PATTY from MARTHA and PEG/PEGGY from MARGARET.

I would really love to hear the origins of the nickname "Jude". My great grandmother was Victoria Belle Kimberling, the oldest daughter of many children, and they nicknamed her "Jude". We have no idea why!
