Holly - A serious enough name?

My husband and I have pretty much 99 per cent decided on Holly, probably Holly Rosa Surname.

We like the name and it seems to tick all the boxes....

  • goes well with our surname
  • Goes with dd1's name Nia (IMO)
  • is the favourite of dd1 (age 3, certainly not essential, but a bonus I feel)
  • seems like a name that will 'suit' our family IYKWIM

But something is just holding me back, I'm not sure what. I just don't know if I love it? I keep searching for other names that I might prefer, haven't found any yet though. Could it be that it's not a serious enough name? or perhaps it's just a last minute wobble? (37+ weeks)

What do you think of it and could you imagine a Dr. Holly xxx etc?

Thanks in advance!

Lovely name but I would only call a Christmas baby by that name
