About the same as Amy or Lucy ie not as popular as Chloe and Isabelle but still popular. About 3 or 4 at our school of 200.

I do like it but prefer Hollie

Fairly. One in dd's class. she's 7.

I love Polly, but I reckon that's 'next up' and will become quite popular too.

Loads of names are popular though iykwim, so still quite unlucky to come up against another in your class... I think.

Any statiticians out there...

Holly is a lovely name. The only ones I know are in their teens now, and my cat who is called Holly Golightly

It is popular but so are most names. The ones that aren't are usually made up.

I know a 5 year old and a 2 year old so fairly popular I would say.
