My partner and I are expecting our first baby together in early September however, we have chosen to keep the sex as a surprise.

This seemed like a good idea at the time until it came to picking names haha

The babies surname will be Berry and my partner has expressed a love for the name Holly for a girl. I really like the name Holly but I am unsure whether we are being silly calling our child Holly Berry.

I thought I'd post on here for a bit of feedback before deciding one way or the other on it.

Boys names we are still struggling with.

TIA xx

It's nothing to do with being matchy or rhymey - it's because the name would be a 'thing'

You can have it but be aware of the comments that will be made if your ok with that go ahead.

If you like the 'y' ending there are others that would work such as Lucy, Amy, Molly,

Personally I'd avoid the double 'y' (first name and surname) but that's simply personal preference.

No you can’t call her Holly, or juniper...

RaffertyFair · 16/05/2019 08:56

A definite no.

I don’t think you can use Holly Berry, sorry.
