Middle name for Holly

[fitforflight]

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 was a bit apprehensive about using my own name, or the name of someone related as we didn't do this for our first daughter. We just picked one we liked, and maybe I'm overthinking it but I didn't want either feeling they were treated differently but honouring a family member etc.

I definitely will! My current favourite is Rosalie but it's not a mutual feeling apparently 😂

My 7 year old is Holly Elizabeth
Holly Jasmine and Holly Grace are both nice

Reith

This might be my favourite 😂😂😂

I have a Holly Mairead

Other names we considered were:
Eve
Eva
Saoirse
Aoife
Aisling

My niece is Holly Morwenna, which I think is beautiful.

It's a great name. Strong.

I'd go for something one syllable & out there for the middle name.

I don't know what that is though 😂

Holly Elizabeth Johnson
Holly Catherine Johnson
Holly Penelope Johnson

I think a longer middle name to balance out the short first name.

I think we must be of a similar age op given your previous answers, I had no idea about Frankie goes to Hollywood but I wouldn't use Jessica either, poor girls.
Is Holly due around Christmas?
Holly Noelle
Holly Marie
Holly Francesca
Holly Rachel
Holly Olivia
Holly Alice

I'm 30, guessing you're close in age?

She's due end of Feb so not a Christmas baby. That's something I've actually only ever seen on Mumsnet, I know plenty of Holly's born throughout the year lol

We had Holly picked as s girls name but I had 2 boys. We had Eloise picked as a middle name.

Holly Rose
Holly May

Or another short name

Holly Evangeline
Holly Cate
Holly Neve/Naimh
Holly Margot

Holly Joan Johnson

My sister has a middle name and I don't. It's never felt odd. My mum gave my sister the name of her sister who had passed away. There was no one they wanted to honour in my name really but I never minded growing up.

I like just Holly Johnson. But I also like the flow of one syllable suggestions.

Holly Rae Johnson
Holly Jean Johnson
Holly Jo Johnson

But if there's not one that feels right you shouldn't feel obliged because your other child has one :)

I’ve always liked the slightly out-there name Tootrybes.

Holly Tootrybes Johnson. Sounds good to me.

I'm sure this is a joke but it's gone right over my head, sorry!

Holly Marie sprang to mind.

I’m in my 30s and I’m sure even my parents wouldn’t think Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I don’t know anything about them except for that one song. And if people do make that connection, so what??

Melissa
Rowan

I was just having a tiny joke. Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s biggest hit was Two Tribes.

TBH, the band and singer may be a bit obscure now but plenty of people will remember Holly Johnson.

Let’s put it this way, if my surname was Miller I wouldn’t call a son Glenn.

Holly Kate - I'm not usually a fan of nicknames as full name but think Kate goes really well. I agree it should be a short name with a consonant first letter because of the y.

I'd go one syllable: Holly Jayne has a nice ring to it, or Holly Joy - I like the symmetry of the 'y' in both.

Andie Ivy....
