Ivy or Holly

[Suchardchoccy]

We are expecting our DD3 in June. We already have Rose and Sybil.
DH loves Ivy and Holly. I like both but I think Holly makes more sense for a Christmas baby? We had both been settled on Ivy if we ever had a third girl but would like to see what others think.
We both really like old fashioned names.
Opinions and suggestions are welcome please!

Ivy is much nicer. Bit Christmassy for June though.

Holly! It's beautiful.

Ivy goes well and definitely can be used all year round!

I love Ivy

I love Ivy and don't consider it a Christmas name.

I prefer Holly. Ivy is quite common these days too (not sure if that bothers you). I wouldn't consider either a Christmas name.

I prefer Holly, but think Ivy goes better with the other names.

There's a lot of Hollys and I am not keen on Ivy, probably because there's so much of the invasive bastard in my garden!!

What about something like Alice, Ruth, Anna/Annie, Mary, Edie, Sandra, Beth?

Holly is much prettier IMO. Ivy sounds quite hard and is a horrible plant.

Both are lovely and perfect for summer birthdays but naff for Christmas tbh

Holly
Ivy is horrid

I really dislike Ivy. Hard sounding, old fashioned in a bad way. It makes me think the parents don’t like their daughter.

Holly is better (but a bit boring). Rose and Sybil are lovely.

I prefer Holly too. Why is a June birthday a Christmas baby though?

Not keen on Holly, but in that wheelhouse I do very much like Polly.

Ivy is pretty, though if we're going for flower names starting with I, I probably prefer Iris.

I prefer Ivy but both are pretty. I think both can be used all year round.

My DD is Holly. She's not a christmas baby. I think maybe 2 people have asked if she was born at christmas. It's a very short conversation so I really wouldn't base your decision on that!

I like ivy

I do think of Holly as a name for December babies. Ivy is year-round and lovely.

Other names with a similar vibe: Hazel, Iris, Lily

I much prefer Holly. Where we are Ivy has become somewhat of a ‘council estate’ name. Personally have never been a fan due to how harsh it sounds. Makes me think of poison Ivy! Not a plant to name your daughter after

I much prefer Holly, it's pretty and quite under-used these days in comparison to Ivy which every other baby girl is called right now.

However, Ivy suits the vintage feel of your sibset more.

Both have quite a wintery/Christmassy feel (the holly and the ivy!), none more so than the other, but equally both are perfectly acceptable any time of year.

Holly because Ivy is overused and just blends in with all the Evies and Avas.

Holly. Ivy is overused and just blends in with all the Evies and Avas, is a thuggish weed, and the name makes me think of Ivy Tilsley.

Polly would go well with the siblings' names.

Please may I ask, how do you know it’s a girl so early?

Holly is a nice cheerful name. I don't really like Ivy much, although it currently seems so popular.

But, like other pps have asked, how is a baby due in June a Christmas baby? Typo?

Oh I see what you mean, baby is due in June, you think that Holly makes more sense for a Christmas baby. You can choose it any time of year imo.
