Middle name for Holly

27 replies

Shesellsseashellsh · 24/10/2024 22:20

My partner and I have finally found a name we both like for our daughter who is due in a couple of months - Holly. We’re stuck on middle names though! We generally tend to like nature names, but they sound quite twee with Holly. I like Holly Kate, Holly Wren, and Holly Sarah. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Our surname is 2 syllables.

Don’t go for Ivy 😂

Holly is a very cute name!

Kate, Wren, and Sarah are all good middle names.

Really like Holly and all on your list, especially Holly Kate.

StressedQueen · 25/10/2024 19:39

One of my daughters is Holly! Her middle name is Ruth which is interesting as another poster has mentioned that name lol.

I love Holly Wren though

itsginoclocksomewhere · 25/10/2024 20:42

We have a holly laura and an ivy rose in this house

OopsieeDaisy · 25/10/2024 22:34

I think a longer middle name works well with Holly (but could depend on your surname):
Holly Elizabeth
Holly Amelia
Holly Sophia
Holly Matilda

UltramarineViolet · 25/10/2024 22:36

Holly Kate gets my vote OR Holly Katherine

I like Holly Sarah best from your list but then I love Sarah - it's the name I would have given my DD if I had one.

I've known a Holly Rose and Holly Victoria, both quite nice combinations.

I've never met or even heard of an actual person called Wren, though it's a name that seems to be discussed a lot on several talkboards. Has anyone?

Hotandbothered222 · 26/10/2024 19:36

@itsginoclocksomewhere you have one child called Holly and another called Ivy…?

Yes I know a teen called Wren - it suits her beautifully.

I love Holly but not sure any of your middle names sound right with it to be honest.

With a 2 syllable first name and 2 syllable surname, I think a longer 3 syllable middle name would sound better:

Holly Amelie
Holly Evelyn
Holly Madeline
Holly Addison
Holly Vivienne
Holly Isabelle
Holly Clementine
Holly Imogen
Holly Mirabel
Holly Bethany
Holly Caroline

TheMummyJade · 28/10/2024 22:58

Holly Sarah is absolutely adorable. I also like Holly Sage or Holly Bree.
