Nope

Otherwise known as Netherlands?

Makes me think of Jules Holland

Tell people you're changing your name to Holland and see what reaction you get.

Love it!

I have even considered it myself, absolute adore Holland Grace.

For people saying it's a really place name, just thought I'd let you know that America is a very popular name in some countries. My best friend in primary school was named America and there's even actress America Ferrera

Hope your surname isn't Oates.

I really liked Holland for a boy but my DP said no.

I was terrified of Hamble

Holliday is much nicer than Holland as a name.

I just watched Hollywood on Netflix, and Holland Taylor was in it. I thought she was terrific and what a great name she had. (Please ignore that she was also in Two and a half men).

No just awful, sorry. Try opening an online bank account with the country name Holland, it'll cause all sorts of confusion.

True, true. My middle name is a place name. We’ve recentjy remortgaged. No amount of documentation could convince the solicitor doing the paperwork that my middle name was not my surname, to the pony that she changed the Land Registry records (thus someone else also must have thought my middle name was my surname) and I’ve just had a massive fight to get my house registered back to me! This is not the first time something like this has happened.

It's okay I prefer Holliday, I know one she goes by Holli.
