Holly...

[legohaus]

...is a strong contender for our soon to be born baby, if a girl.

My first DD (aged 18 months) is Robyn.

Is Robyn and Holly a bit... Christmassy? Neither are Christmas babies.

Or am I overthinking it?

When I saw Holly I first thought how lovely as it was popular a few years ago but died down a lot.

Maybe Robyn and Holly is a little Christmassy? Maybe Harriet?

I think it’s fine. Plus FWIW I don’t see Robyn as a namesake for the Robin bird as it’s a different spelling.

I think it's a bit too christmassy.

I think it’s very Christmassy.

I think it's pretty Christmassy too, but DH says not.

I mean, I do really like Christmas, but not THAT much...

Ooohh it's my top choice at moment as well but I'm due Christmas Day. Also swaying to Hollie as I have a thing for ie names.

Personally I think it’s too Christmassy, sorry OP! X

No, too Christmassy. It's a shame as they sound nice together.

I love the name Holly, go for it

I love it, love Robyn too. I considered Holly but worried as it was October but Holly is an all year round plant :) Hallie is also nice.

To Christmassy I'm afraid. I love robin for a boy but we have vetoed that as we have an ivy and it feels to Christmassy to have both - shame

I have a Holly, she never gets asked if she is a Christmas baby. If you like the name, go for it.

I don't think of Robyn or Holly as Christmassy. My niece is Robyn and she was born in May. I think Robyn and Holly go lovely together, very pretty names. My cousin has a Holly, Daisy and Willow, so very flowery and forest like which I love too.

I don't think so. Lovely names too.

It's fine. You might get the odd comment, especially if you and the father are called Carol and Noel.

Holly was/is my number one girls name! But our surname is Day! Apparently Holly Day sounds too much like holiday!!!
So we have a Poppy!!
Go for it, I love it

I think it’s fine. Even if people do think they sound Christmassy, that’s not a big deal.

I have a March-born Holly. I don't associate her name with Christmas and nobody has asked if she's a Christmas baby. But Holly and Robyn together would probably make me think "ooh, Christmassy!!".

I love both names individually but they do stand out as Christmassy to me too. It isn't the end of the world though and ultimately if the name is special to you, go for it. While they are kids they'll "come as a pair" so might get the odd comment etc but as they grow up, get partners/married/kids of their own; it won't matter half as much.

Love both names - go for it!

Too Christmassy to have Robyn and Holly. Both gorgeous names but unless they are Christmas babies they are a bit much together

What about Heidi?

It’s a bit Christmassy but I don’t think it matters. I don’t mind too much about sibling names going together unless the two names make an awful connection together. Robyn and Holly seems fine to me.

Love it, two of my favourite names

My old boss had a Robyn then a Holly. There were a LOT of comments about how Christmassy they were. It is really odd sounding to me, sorry.
