I am 6 months pregnant, with a little girl.

Our surname starts with a 'H' and has an 'ie' ending. ( more of an 'ee' sound)

Since baby will be born in November, we were wondering about Holly.

But then she would have HH as initials and similar 'y/ie' sound at the end, making it rhyme, almost.

Is this a strange sounding name? I appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks

I do often like alliterative names but Holly Hosie is a bit too much. Ho Ho isn't great... I have the same problem with my last name and have had to ditch some names I really like for the sake of my child! Your other names are all lovely, especially Erin.

I really like it. It sounds sweet. You might consider that she may want to change her name if she gets married, your surname shouldn't stop you from choosing the first name you love the best. Holly is by far the nicest name on your list. What about Holly Willoughby, that has 2 "y" endings but no one comments on it.

I think it's a bit much too, sorry. I love Erin Hosie though (and all your other names are nice).

I love it! But maybe you could use a middle name to break it up, or go for something like Holly-Ann? I don't usually like double barrelled names but that sounds cute!

Molly or Polly would be better. Or Milly.

Ivy? Nicola (St Nicholas). Mary (Jesus's mother).

To be fair I have a Christmas day baby and we just gave him Caspar as a third name so I don't know why youbreally need a Christmas name.

How about Josephine?

Of your suggestions, I like Holly and Erin. Holly Hosie is fine.

It reminded me of Holly Hobbie too.

I really like Kiera and it would go well with your surname.

Not Josephine, it's a lovely name but Josie Hosie wouldn't work as well.

My DDs name isn't alliterated but it does rhyme with a shortened version of our surname (DHs nickname). Anyone that has picked up on it has liked it but many don't even notice.
