My DP and I disagree on most names but both love this one. Just curious what people thought of it really!

It's awful.

calzone · 26/09/2015 09:10

Truly truly awful.

I cannot think how this is cute or sensible and I would not want to be called it myself.

Wolfiefan · 26/09/2015 09:10

Um no. I read the thread title as asking what holiday was suitable for a girl!

BondGate · 26/09/2015 09:11

Not a fan, sorry.

When I read the thread title, my first thought was that you were looking for suggestions of good places to take a baby on holiday, and had misspelt holiday and put the thread in the wrong section by mistake.

And the comments over her life will be tiring......

Me too Wolfie!

Hmm! Thats interesting that it's had a strong negative reaction. I had had it back of my mind for a while then saw an actress recently called it and thought it was simple and sweet.

No. It's horrible

SlowlyGoingINSAINIA · 26/09/2015 09:20

It's awful.

manicinsomniac · 26/09/2015 09:20

It has a pretty sound and it's quite sweet.

But I definitely wouldn't do it.

Twooter · 26/09/2015 09:25

No from me

cittigirl · 26/09/2015 09:28

No

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 26/09/2015 09:40

At least holly would be a good nn...

AuntieStella · 26/09/2015 09:43

I don't like it. But I'm not wild even about established surnamey names, let alone ones used as one-off stage names.

And think it sounds like a Bond girl. The sister of Christmas Jones perhaps.

Spidertracker · 26/09/2015 09:46

Do you not like just Holly, its most likely that is what she will end up being called anyway.
It just doesn't seem like a first name.

Costacoffeeplease · 26/09/2015 09:51

It just doesn't seem like a first name.

Maybe because it's not

I've seen some corkers on this board, but jeez

Spartak · 26/09/2015 09:53

Why not? If your next child is a boy he can be Hollibob.

GoldPlatedShitGibbon · 26/09/2015 09:53

Holliday Grainger is fab.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 26/09/2015 10:17

Is a no from me, sorry

mrsschu · 26/09/2015 10:22

It's ridiculous frankly. Imagine being a grown woman in a normal job (ie not a Hollywood film star) and having to introduce yourself to people as Holliday?! It sounds like a joke. And it looks like you can't spell. A massive no from me...

It's terrible. I honestly thought you were asking about places to take a baby.

Vixxfacee · 26/09/2015 10:48

There's an actor with a daughter named Holiday. His other daughter is Winter.

Keeptrudging · 26/09/2015 10:50

"Have you been on/are you going on Holliday" jokes & sniggers all her life? It would be cruel.
