[Opinions] Re: Holly
in reply to a message by Lily8
My middle name is Holly. I was born on Christmas Eve. :)
1. I've always liked it.
2. It's uncommon where I live (Texas). I think I've met perhaps 2 Holly's in my entire life. Because it doesn't seem common, it doesn't feel dated to me, despite being far more popular here in the eighties than now.
3. Holly, by far.
4. I've never considered it cutesy, and I think it's fine no matter when the child is born. In fact, as a Christmas Holly, I think it's cheesy when it's given to a Christmas baby. As much as I like my middle name, I think I'd like it more if I had been born in March or June.
