About Tolly
Tolly is an antique short form that is not only jolly but makes Bartholomew usable in the modern world, when Bart is too Simpsonesque. For the adventurous nicknamer, Tolly might even be a novel short form of Oliver.
Tolly is also given to girls.
Pronounced TAH-lee.
As of October 2026, Tolly ranked #9192 for girls in US births in 1976 and #3660 for boys in US births in 1949 SSA.
