Is Holland a good name for a girl?

Its alright though it strikes me as rather masculine, though I've never been a fan of place names so countries (India, Holland or Ireland), states (Virginia, Dakota or Georgia), some towns/neighborhoods (Brooklyn, Memphis or Miami) and continents (Asia or America) have always been on my no-no list for the most part.

Can't say I'm a fan, sorry! Though keep in mind I greatly dislike the name Holly/Hollie, so any variation of it doesn't tend to appeal to me... but I do think Holland is a better variation of Holly (using Holly as a nick name rather than a full name, as Holly feels a tad childish on its own to me).

IDK, I'm not a fan.. but I don't think its a horrible name.

I like it. I played around with it for a bit before Martin scratched it.

Thanks for the input. My maiden name is Hawley (Holly), and I have a cousin named Hawley honoring my aunt's maiden name. So I'm thinking no on Holland, because I wouldn't want to use Holly as a nn. And, I'm just not sure if Holland seems like a name you would call a baby girl....
