All along, my four year old daughter has wanted to name our baby girl "Halicka Trina." Those are the names she gave her two favorite "My Little Ponies." Well, needless to say, Halicka Trina is just not my style. (Out of curiosity, I did a google search of "Halicka" - its a province in Poland and a Polish surname).

Well, our baby is due in December, and I've been really drawn to the name Holly because of the Christmas season. However, I've struggled with a middle name. Then it occurred to me - Holly Katrina! I think I'll nick name her "Holly Kate." What do you all think??

What a cute story! And what a great way to combine your four-year-old's ideas without actually having to name the newest baby Halicka! LOL I think Holly Katrina sounds nice, and I love that you could call her Holly Kate! How adorable!

I love the name Holly -- it's a lovely name that suits a baby, child, or adult, and it's seldom heard of nowadays. Plus, the connection to the Christmas season and her big sister's preferences make it extra special. The perfect choice!

Cool name, although you could just stick to "Trina" like my parents did! ;)

Love it. You don't see a lot of Hollys out there and it's a very pretty name.

Holly Kate is DARLING and Holly Katrina really does sound quite a lot like Halicka Trina. Another option would be Hallie Katrina, although Holly is just as cute and nice for a December baby. (Just throwing it out there since it sounds so much like Halicka Trina.)

This will make a great sister story. :)

Very cute!
