Need help with Hollybeth/Hollyanne!!
| Tue, 10-05-2004 - 7:07pm |
I'm expecting a Christmas baby girl this year! I love the name Holly (especially for a Christmas baby), but my last name is also two syllables ending in y, so I thought I'd try Hollybeth or Hollyanne. Beth is my grandma, and Anne is my middle name. I kind of prefer Hollybeth, DH prefers Hollyanne (he loves the Boston song by the same name).
I guess I have two questions. First, which name do you prefer - Hollyanne or Hollybeth? Second, what middle names can you suggest? If I use Hollyanne - is Hollyanne Elizabeth too long winded? What about Hollybeth Anne? Does that flow okay? What about using Noelle (Hollyanne Noelle, Hollybeth Noelle) - would that be just a little too Christmasy?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions!

Holly Noelle is beautiful, I know a girl she is in her late teens, she was born a couple days after xmas and her mother named her Holly Noelle.
I think Hollyanne Elizabeth is a little long, especially if you think of her as adult having to fill in her name in those little boxes on forms.
Noelle is a beautiful name too, but I think paired with Holly it just screams -I'm a Christmas Baby!-

I like both names better as two separate names....when they are written out as one name, they just *look* funny.

If you have any other thoughts, I'd love to hear them! Thanks again!
I know several people whose names end in y whose last name also end in y. it's not that bad of a sound. If I knew your actual last name I could give you a better opinion of how Holly sounds with it, but I certainly understand some people's hesitancy to give their full names on here.
for instance I know an Amy and a Hailey (related) whose last name is two syllables and ends in ley. they sound find together.
I also love the name Noelle as a Christmas name. Sometimes I think it would be really cute to use both first and middle Xmas names, but maybe it is a little cheesey.
I personally think Holly Elizabeth together is really good, but again, I'd have to hear that last name to make a true opinion.
good luck.
Let's see--Hollyanne Grace?
