I not really that keen on either, but probably Holly.

Even though Holly is less popular (and possibly more classic), I'd choose Willow of the two - it has a lovely sound and an elegant, romantic feel to me for some reason.

I have a Willow so I'm biased !

I have a Holly so I'm biased. Both are nice names but Holly is my favourite.

Holly is lovely

GingerBeverage · 15/12/2020 12:14

Holly. I think there will be a celebrity Willow soon.

MulledGin · 15/12/2020 14:28

Holly Smile

WhatDoHedgehogsSay · 15/12/2020 14:48

Holly. With Willow as a middle name.

Whatsyourflava · 15/12/2020 16:01

Both really lovely but my favourite would be Holly as that's one of my favourite names @Prettysparkles

Willow is also beautiful though

Wintersdreamer3 · 15/12/2020 17:20

I don’t think you could go to ring with either. Both are lovely. Willow seems more modern, but Holly is classic.

mamablondie33 · 16/12/2020 20:39

I like both a lot. Tough call, but as it’s a December baby I’d go with Holly :)

VenusClapTrap · 17/12/2020 07:40

Willow

Sausagedog1 · 17/12/2020 20:45

Willow. Holly is nice but it's very popular for my generation so I find it a bit dated/boring.
