There’s an actress called Holland Taylor. She was in Two and a Half Men as Charlie Sheen’s mother. She’s in a relationship with an amazing actress called Sarah Paulson (The People vs OJ Simpson) who is 32 years younger than her.

I know a little girl called Holland, it couldn’t suit her more, it’s a lovely name.

*generally male.

Dutch is more established as a person name, albeit generally.

Hollie / Holly is much nicer

Not a particularly nice sound. The 'lund' bit when you say it is ugly.

Name not am*

I love it, beautiful name.
I'm working with a really unfortunate surname otherwise that would be my go to am

Agree that it sounds too masculine and that it’s a surname that would sound odd on a child.

MinorArcana · 19/05/2020 10:38

Sounds more masculine to me too

LotusClover · 19/05/2020 10:37

Yes. It sounds masculine to me and it's more of a surname. I love Holly/Hollie though.
