Can we have a Holly and a Robin?

[York2016]

Honestly?

[York2016]

Quite mixed!

Yes, DD was born 5 years ago (this Christmas) actually on Christmas Day! DC's due date is Christmas Eve

As in a Christmas theme? I don't see one there; not one that jumps out.

Better than Holly & Ivy imo love the carol though

Two Christmas babies? Mother nature is certainly doing her thing in your household, York

[SpecialStains]

I love both names! Go for it.

[KondosSecretJunkRoom]

No. Holly is fine but to give your other child a festive name makes them sound like you are building a tribute act to Christmas.

[Potcallingkettle]

I knew a Holly and Robin when I was a child. I never thought anything of it. I think it's great for two Christmas babies.

[Flywheel]

Of course you can. Go for it

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

No. I wouldn't.

[FinnegansCake]

Both lovely names, I don't see a problem. I've never thought of either as being a "Christmas" name.

It's not as if you're calling your kids Mistletoe and Tinsel

[Shemozzle]

Of course you can!

[Helenluvsrob]

Hi Mrs Christmas!

I dunno. Probably fine but they will get ribbed at school- but they'll get ribbed for something knowing school kids :)

[DappledThings]

My old boss had Robyn and Holly. We thought it was a bit odd and asked if no 3 would be Tinsel or Bauble but they stopped at 2

[eyebrowsonfleek]

My children have Xmas names. One of them has it as a first name while the other has it as a middle.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh dear !
Yes OP, of course you can.

[Libby34]

I think that's fine, it I met two children called that I don't think I'd even make the connection. Lovely names.

[Hersetta427]

NO.....far too twee.

[cosmicglittergirl]

I think it's fine

[Shellybobbles82]

I think yes, I love the name Robin x

[wobblywonderwoman]

Oh, I don't think I would.

I agree its a little twee. Ruby is a festive colour and not as obvious

[Enkopkaffetak]

I don't see a issue personally. You will get a few " seasonal" comments but I am sure you already get that now with Holly so why not.

[OreoHeaven]

I really like it!

[sycamore54321]

I think it is also twee and I wouldn't like to be part of a name set that appeared to be a bit of a joke. If you had a clutch of other children called Sophie and Thomas and Paul and Louise in between, it would be ok. But for just two, it seems a little bit cartoonish.

Pity, as I do like both names.

Slightly off topic, I was at a social event recently with a person with a very obviously Christmas-themed name. Upon learning the name, a member of the group said "so, you must have been born at Christmas time then?" A bit of a pause, followed by the response in a slightly embarrassed voice "no, actually I was born nine months after Christmas".

[fortifiedwithtea]

I think its ok. With a five year gap they are not going to be at the same school until secondary and as senior schools are so big they won't be with each other even then.

[heron98]

of course you can. They aren't really linked unless you mean because of Christmas in which case it's very tenuous and robins and holly exist all year round anyway.

[WingsAndThings]

Fortified... What? They will be at primary school for longer than secondary! Primary school - 4-11 and secondary - 11-16???
