What do you think of the name Holly? I think it's cute, and I've been liking it a lot lately... but do you think it sounds too childish? Would kids make fun of someone named Holly because the name is kind of Christmasy? Do you have any middle name recommendations for Holly? Thanks so much, guys! :)

I've never cared much for Holly, personaly :/ I don't mind Hollyn, or Holland, for whatever reason, but Holly is just one of those names I don't much care for. Slightly childish, I suppose. But in the same way Molly is, but it works just as well. :) I don't think that a kid would be teased for a christmasy name. It's like, generally common and all, not popular but known. And there's so many kids with unique names, even kids named Unique or something, that Holly would be fine! <3

Middle names..

Holly Annabel
Holly Deanne
Holly Josephine
Holly Natalia
Holly Sarah
Holly Alyssa
Holly Elisabeth
Holly Isabel
Holly Beatrice
Holly Patience
Holly Veronica
Holly Cadence
Holly Alessia

There's a few names, what do you think? Want more? :D Hope this helps!

I think Holly's a great name! It's my favorite H name for girls. No, I don't think it's too Christmasy, but it wouldn't be a bad name to use around Christmastime either.

Good luck!!

I personally like the name Holly and don't think it's necessarily childish. It's not as Christmasy as, say, the name Noel ((which I love lol)), but I don't think it would get made fun of.

I think Holly is fine. I'd use it over Molly, which I think is adorable but...is so common for pets nowadays. I know three dogs and a cat named Molly. And I don't know a lot of people!
But Holly I can think of one girl I went to school with (so she'd be thiryish now) and one girl on tv (I'm thinking The Office possibly?) and that's it. But it's not odd or weird, either. I like it.

Definitely pretty and not childish. I doubt she would get made fun of unless her middle name was Bell, Wreath, Tree etc...
