Hi Everyone,

Please tell me what you think of the name Holly. It is dh's favorite name (he doesn't have too many that he loves either). At first, I really didn't like it, but it's sort of starting to grow on me. However, I'm not sure if I really like it or if I just like it because dh likes it so much.

What do you think of when you hear the name? Is it trendy? Old fashioned? Is it a strong name?

Please be honest, you won't hurt my feelings.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I do like the name Holly. It works as a little girl's name and a woman's name. I don't think it's trendy at all. It sounds very good!

I like it a lot. It's not trendy and it's feminine without being overly girly.

I like the name Holly a lot...you might want to consider another nice classic name for a mn.

GL!

I think it is an ok name but too associated with Christmastime.

Hey there,

I thought I would post my opinion, as Holly is my name lol. I don't love my name, but it doesn't bother me either. It's not a very popular name ((at least not around here)). I have actually only met one other person with the name. People would bug me in school at Christmas, especially when singing "Deck the Halls", but other than that I never got bothered. If you end up using it, make sure your dd doesn't think she was named after the plant though. There is a second meaning to the name which is "Holy one". HTH

I think it's cute - I only know one girl named Holly, so she probably wouldn't be one of several in her class!
