My husband suggested Holly.

Would you say this is a trendy name or a classic?

I do find it slightly 90s but then again my husband really seems to like 90s names.

Holly or Hollie?

I can't decide whether I'm a huge fan of it yet. I dislike that it seems dated to me but I do like that it sounds sort of happy and that it reminds me of Christmas (just like Noelle which I love).

Was Holly popular in your area? Is it odd for a non-Christmas baby?

I guess it is sort of similar in style to Ivy but much less common at the moment so not totally out of style?

I would say Holly is a classic name, whereas Hollie is more 90s. Holly is a lovely name, I think I would only choose it for a winter-born baby.

It's a bit christmassy, but it's usable for babies born at other times of the year.
Polly and Molly are a bit more classic.
