Dalia Holly vs. Dalia Holly vs. Dalia Holly

Dalia (although pronounced exactly the same as Dahlia) is not a botanical name, it has a different origin and meaning, therefore isn’t excessively "flowery" next to Holly. I love this name and can’t get it out of my head for my little girl. What do you think of it?

I prefer Cordelia Holly which I do believe was an option on another poll plus Dahlia Holly & Dalia Holly.

It was and still is an option but if she is named Cordelia, I’d end up calling her Dollia anyway as a nickname. So I wanted to hear what would people think of her name if I went with Dalia Holly off the bat.

Dahlia Holly have the same middle sound and it throws off the flow.

How about LILLIAN HOLLY?

Not really a fan of Lillian (or any Lily name) but thank you! I wouldn’t mind other suggestions if it keeps Dalia as a first name or Holly as a middle name.

It seems like you keep coming back to Dalia Holly. That probably means it is "the one." I’ll admit that, at first I found the flow of Dalia Holly to be borderline rhyme-y. But it has actually kind of grown on me. And both are definitely lovely names. I do like Cordelia Holly a lot and voted for it previously. But if you’ll call her Dollia anyway, I don’t see the point in that.

Really pretty. I don’t think there’s much point in calling her Cordelia just to call her Dollia

I also don’t think Dalia Holly flows particularly well. What about:

Dalia Hazel
Dalia Jennifer
Dalia Belle
Dalia Vivienne
Dalia Giselle
Dalia Ruby
Dalia Corinne
Dalia Scarlett
Dalia Mae
Dalia Wren
Dalia Genevieve
Dalia Jane
Dalia Bridget
Dalia Meredith

However, if you love Dalia Holly then go for it! It seems like you really like it

Would reversing it to Holly Dalia be any different? I find Dalia Audrey pretty.

For me, it’s not that they are "botanical," even if you did want to use Dahlia over Dalia. It’s that they are too rhyme-y. They simply don’t sound good as a pair. It’s like an annoying nursery rhyme that gets stuck in your head. I’m sorry to say that because I do like both of the names a lot separately; it’s just that they are not good together. It just sounds very juvenile.
