My DP and I disagree on most names but both love this one. Just curious what people thought of it really!

Truly truly awful.


I cannot think how this is cute or sensible and I would not want to be called it myself.

Um no. I read the thread title as asking what holiday was suitable for a girl!

Not a fan, sorry.

When I read the thread title, my first thought was that you were looking for suggestions of good places to take a baby on holiday, and had misspelt holiday and put the thread in the wrong section by mistake.

Hmm! Thats interesting that it's had a strong negative reaction. I had had it back of my mind for a while then saw an actress recently called it and thought it was simple and sweet.

It has a pretty sound and it's quite sweet.

But I definitely wouldn't do it.

I don't like it. But I'm not wild even about established surnamey names, let alone ones used as one-off stage names.

And think it sounds like a Bond girl. The sister of Christmas Jones perhaps.

Do you not like just Holly, its most likely that is what she will end up being called anyway.
It just doesn't seem like a first name.

Maybe because it's not

I've seen some corkers on this board, but jeez

Why not? If your next child is a boy he can be Hollibob.

It's ridiculous frankly. Imagine being a grown woman in a normal job (ie not a Hollywood film star) and having to introduce yourself to people as Holliday?! It sounds like a joke. And it looks like you can't spell. A massive no from me...

It's terrible. I honestly thought you were asking about places to take a baby.

There's an actor with a daughter named Holiday. His other daughter is Winter.

"Have you been on/are you going on Holliday" jokes & sniggers all her life? It would be cruel.
