Brother for Holly

We have just found out we are having a baby boy - I was convinced it was going to another baby girl so haven't even thought about boys names!

We have a daughter called Holly, does anyone have any thoughts on names that would work with Holly? We'd like to avoid names beginning with H as our surname also starts with H but otherwise fairly open!

Thanks in advance

My friend has a Holly and Charlie.

Ben & Hollys kingdom isn’t really a popular kids show anymore to be honest, but it’s always there on like streaming services, so I’d definitely avoid anyway 😆

Oak? Sorry!

I think a strong and more traditional name like David, James, John, Matthew, Ben would go well with Holly.

Like Ben and hollys little kingdom ??

Thanks for all the ideas. Good point about Ben and Phil, I'll probably avoid them!

Never heard of it, and who really cares? They are perfectly fine names!
