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

I love it. Very pretty name and definitely spell it Holly!

Bunnygirlie · 07/03/2016 21:11

Lovely name! Just spell it the right way - Holly! Can't stand Hollie or any other bizarre spelling.

Jessiejane123 · 07/03/2016 19:53

Holly was always a popular name when I was at school (27 now) but you don't hear of many babies nowadays called Holly, so it is a name I like and considered for my own. Although I'd prefer Hollie. .

Christmas associations for me too - and I doubt it's just me. Yes, it's evergreen, but hugely bound up with the iconography of Christmas/cards/decorations.

joyfulworld · 07/03/2016 08:41

It's a nice name for me. Maybe you can also spell it like Hollie. Smile

Jw35 · 06/03/2016 13:34

It's ok, I prefer Molly though.

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

catlover91 · 06/03/2016 03:29

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

I always wanted to call my dd Holly, till I married a Mr Wood.

NightCityLights · 04/03/2016 20:35

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.

girlandboy · 04/03/2016 20:24

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

Beautiful name.

user7755 · 04/03/2016 20:15

DSD is Holly, born in June. Named after Holly Golightly. Lovely name, have never met another Holly (that I can think of) - she is in her 30s

Rainbowqueeen · 04/03/2016 20:15

Love it

Time of year makes no difference

thebiscuitindustry · 04/03/2016 20:13

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

Foxsox · 04/03/2016 20:10

Not just for christmas babies at all.

It's a lovely name.

Allalonenow · 04/03/2016 20:08

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

Quercus3 · 04/03/2016 20:01

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

Ages well, pretty without being too girly.

Gracey79 · 04/03/2016 18:52

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

rainbowstardrops · 04/03/2016 18:48

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

If she's born around Christmas it's lovely

CreamofTartar · 04/03/2016 14:48

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

kaymondo · 04/03/2016 14:46

Classic and works for both little girls and women.

I would assume a winter birthday though!
