Too alliterative?

Hello, my husband and I both love the name Holly for our baby girl however our surname is Harris and we are wondering if that is too much alliteration or if it really doesn't matte! What do people think? Thank you.

I really like Holly Harris - think it sounds lovely!

I like it. Nice ring to it. Puts me in mind of Holly Hunter.

Part of me does hope she'll have a middle name beginning with 'R' as well. 😛

Holly Harris sounds amazing! Really great ring to it. Wish it was my name!

I have the same first name and a similar surname and I love having an alliterative name, so I say yes! It's memorable.

It reminds me of Rolf Harris I don't know why.

Good name, I like the sound of Holly Harris.

I like it, it has a ring to it, my ds is alliterative. Both names with with Ma, but we think they go well together.
