Thoughts? Worried it could be too plain or that there may be loads of them?

I think rather than being plain it's classic & pretty. Suits every age, nice solid name I think. I have a friend called Holly who absolutely suits her name & is lovely.

I love it - have a very good friend who really suits it. There are at least 2 in both my dc school years though if that bothers you

There seemed to be a lot a few years ago but not so many now if that's a concern.

Tis a very pretty name.

I had discounted it because I thought it was too Christmassy, but its actually a nice name all the same.

It's a name, but IMO would only be okay for a winter baby.

Classic and works for both little girls and women.

I would assume a winter birthday though!

Not keen. I class with the irredeemably naff Noelle. It sounds 'Christmas-themed' to me.

If she's born around Christmas it's lovely

I would associate it with a winter baby but I do like it Smile

I like it, don't think it matters when she's born.

It's lovely no matter what the time of year.

Ages well, pretty without being too girly.

It's quite pretty, but best used for a Christmas baby I think.

Not just for christmas babies at all.

It's a lovely name.

I don't think the time of year makes a difference.

Time of year makes no difference

DD is Holly. Born in September and she's 20. Not just for Christmas.

Beautiful name.

My name is Holly and I do often get asked if I was born around Christmas. I was born in August.

Aside from that though I like my name and I don't meet many other Hollys at all.

I went to school with 5 hollys/Hollie it is very common and is also a bit bland

Hollie/Holly is nice and dont think it matters about time of year she is born. Not too popular either so would be a bonus for me
