Do you have a festive surname?

Yes, of course you can. Why not?

You can't have Batman & Robin though. Unless you have a Butler too😉

I think you can squeak it then if
you love the names. Academically and professionally no one will give a monkey's what their sibling is called so as long as you're happy why worry?

Actually I think it's ok.

It's not an association that would jump right out at me I don't think and they are both great names.

A friend of mine knew twins called Adam & Eve - now that is weird for siblings.
I knew twins called Vanilla & Cinnamon. 15 years later I'm still sighing & shaking my head.

Holly & Robin are fine. If there's a Christmas connection it's quite sweet actually.
Go for it OP.

I never knew Robin was associated with Christmas...

So, I'd say yes.

Are there birthdays around Christmas?

Unfortunately, I immediately thought Christmas when I saw the thread title. People will pick up on it. They are both nice names though.

Of course you can!
I think they googelt together and so what if people think you have a theme for your names, most people won't even twig.
Lovely names OP, go for it.

Lots of people have flower Themes, wildlife themes, this is even less obvious that than. Ignore all the boring posters.

No! I have a 'seasonal' name. Don't do it. I do like both Holly and Robin though.

I think it's fine and both are lovely names

Of course you can!!! Especially if they're both Christmas time babies.
Can't understand why people think you couldn't.

It's fine, but you'll have to call your third child Noel Grin

I knew twins once whose middle names were Volvo and Scania. Their dad was a lorry driver.
