Surname is Johnson. Should probably name change but I can't really be bothered.

What middle name would you choose for baby girl Holly Johnson?

I like Holly Emma or Holly Isla

I've got a Holly Josephine that became Holly Jo. Holly Jo Johnson has a nice ring! I'm of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood era but I'm not sure many in your age group would recognise that today!

I don’t know holly Johnson from frankie goes to Hollywood and I think a lot of people also wouldn’t make the connection.

I like Holly Christina

I love the name Holly. I think a slightly longer middle name might be nice. Something like..

Holly Rebecca
Holly Elizabeth
Holly Francesca
Holly Louisa

Congratulations 😁.

Holly Marietta Johnson

Or something similar with 3 syllables, emphasis on the second syllable

Holly Rose sounds lovely to me.

Jaybail · 06/12/2023 08:37

I understand this point of view completely. My older brother has a middle name, I just have one, because my parents couldn't agree. Mom wanted Annabel but my initials would have been J.A.M. and dad said I'd be teased at school. They didn't bother giving me a middle name and I always felt a little like an afterthought that they didn't care enough to put a bit more effort in!

Definitely Holly Jo Johnson

TyrannasaurusJex · 06/12/2023 09:31

I have a friend called "Holly Blue Jackson" which i actually really like!

Conkersinautumn · 06/12/2023 09:36

Your first name? One of your parents or grandparents?

I'll say Elizabeth (or Eliza) as a suggestion as my middle name is barely touched these days!

roshi42 · 06/12/2023 09:38

Immediately thought Holly Ann.

StarboysMum · 06/12/2023 09:44

Holly Jade Johnson. Just sounds cool. J is a great middle initial too.

StarboysMum · 06/12/2023 09:46

Please come back and let us know what you choose!
