Can we have a Holly and a Robin?

Honestly?

Holly and robins aren't linked to Christmas?

What?

Someone should tell the Christmas cards, the Christmas wrapping paper, Christmas biscuit tins, Christmas movies, Christmas children books, basically someone should tell Christmas.

WingsAndThings, I'm going by what is usual where I live. Infant school Nursery (optional), Reception, Year 1 & 2. Separate Junior school next door but run separately Years 3 - 6. Each school has its own HT. So children with big age gap like mine don't go to the same school (if at all) until secondary. And seeing as my DC have very different strengths and personalities the younger one chose a different school from her sibling. A few people commented on that at the time but eldest has now left school anyway.

And siblings are frequently referred to by name even once they have left school. Do you really want them to seem a quickly suppressed grin every time their names are mentioned for the rest of their lives?

Well would you have chosen these names if they hadn't been born at Christmas? If not then no, as you aren't naming some novelty act.

Plus I don't like the name Robin.

It's fine - they're nice names!

Yes I know a holly and a robin totally fine

I associate Cardinals with Christmas, but not Robins. Anyways, Holly and Robin are both "nature" names and I think they are perfectly acceptable for siblings.

Of course you can, they are lovely names.

Yes! Both lovely names and sweet together. Ignore the haters :)

Of course you can 😂😂

Yes, it's fine.
