Is Holly too cheesy for a Christmas baby?

(42 Posts)
I'm due around Xmas / New Year and love the girls name Holly but is it a bit cheesy to name a Christmas baby Holly?

bumper, You would see irish xmas cards with Nollaig Shona in the middle and the Shona part means happy and is a name. Nollaig is also a name, but it's very rare. Don't know any. I know a couple of Shonas though.

I like HOlly. I also like Ivy and Robin and Noelle, and Natalia and Eve and Christmas and Stephanie (St Stephen's day is 26th December). OK Christmas is pushing it! but she could be Christa which is lovely.

also i know a couple of girls called holly,born in aug/sept although ones is spelled hollie
Holly is ok, and not cheesey, but I like Noelle for a Christmas name!

I used to live in Wales and work with babies and there was a baby called Llawen. Merry Christmas in Welsh is Nadolig Llawen and my colleague explained to me that she had never heard the name Llawen before, (or it might have been a really old fashioned name) and was essentially like calling their baby 'Merry'. She thought it was very sweet.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
