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!

Why don't you hyphenate, e.g. Holly-Anne. That way, you eliminate the visual issue of people thinking it looks odd as all one word, and you avoid the problem of having to explain to teachers, family, friends, etc. that her name is not just Holly and she doesn't go by just Holly. I think if you name her Holly Anneliese, for example - even if YOU call her Holly Anne, everyone would have the initial assumption that her first name is just Holly.
Also, instead of Elizabeth as mn, if you think it's too long, use Beth. Holly-Anne Beth __.
Hope this helps!
