Holly

What do you think of the name? I just got back from the cottage and there was a chubby little blond three-year-old toting around a kitten by this name. Because of her, I think it's adorable. Your thoughts?

I love it. I think it's pretty, uncommon enough to not be boring, but still a nice, normal name.

i imagine it on a red-head, i do not know why.

but i think it's a nice name... even though one of our dogs was named Holly. but i'd still use it as a name on a kid, because i like it.

i imagine it on a redhead too, maybe because of the red holly berries? i think it would still work on a non-redhead, of course.

I've always liked it. I knew twins named Holly and Heather once...

When I was very young, I used to have two dolls named Holly and Heather, and they were actually twins as well. (How lame is it that I remember that?!)

Ha! No, that's cute! Your dolls had better names than mine... the only one I can remember was called Baga. Yeah, I don't know.

I love the name Holly. It's something I would consider naming a daughter.

It's quite nice- a nature name without being too hippy.

My husband suggested it but with our last name, it sort of sounds like a Dr. Seuss character.

I really like it a lot. Honestly I probably like it so much because of the whole Audrey Hepburn association.
BUT I could never use it because it's my uncle's ex-wife's name.

I hate to be the only one to say this, but I don't really like it. Like Noel/Noelle it reminds me the Christmas. I love Christmas, but think these names are too theme-y. On a little girl it sounds cute, but on a older girl it reminds me of a mean cheerleader type. This may just be a result of where I grew up.

I like it! One of my favoirte teachers in elementary school was Miss Holly (her first name was Laura).
