Would you call your daughter Ivy if your name was Holly?

Other half set on the name Ivy for our daughter, but my name is Holly.

Worried we'll be inundated with mentions of the Christmas carol for life. But he says I am just being silly...

Thoughts?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

YES I WOULD!! That is excellent

Are you prepared for a full month of people singing that song at you every time you go anywhere in December? Being greeted with 'oh look, it's the holly and the ivy' by people? Because to be honest, Id be tempted to do those things, and I have a name with a lot of punning potential so I know how annoying it can be.

So I would say no, unless you're prepared to embrace it and get matching t-shirts made. And still probably no- though they are both lovely names:

No itll be the longest running unfunny joke for the rest if your life, don't saddle yourselves with it

I wouldn't have siblings Holly and Ivy but mother and daughter is ok, I think. You'll be mummy so they won't get used together that often.

Nope

I wouldn't.

I had the same thought with my Dd Molly...

I won't have another one now but I always love the name Ivy

I would go for it.

There's worse matching names and they are both lovely

No I wouldn't
