User Comments about the name Holly
Comment left Nov 18, 2009: "My name is Holly and I love it. I was born on December 10th, and thats where it came from! I don't really know anyone else with my name and I feel like it suits me well and that it's just as unique as I am. It just gets annoying when people spell it like "Holli, Hollie, Holley.""

Comment left Nov 16, 2009: "When I was young I knew about 5 Holly's (including myself) They were all much older than me. My name is Holly Gwynn and I think it sounds pretty good. I was born in July, so definitely not an xmas baby. Many people in Japan end up calling me "Holy" though and start singing Holy Night. I've learned to just take it as a compliment."

Comment left Oct 28, 2009: "My name is Holly and I have come to appreciate my name as it is not terribly common, but it is not hard for people to pronounce or anything (like someone said in another comment). I have gotten tons of nicknames and people have done the 'Holly'wood thing and the "deck the halls with boughs of 'holly'". Most people think i was born around christmas because of my name, when i was not...common misconception about people with the name 'Holly.'" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 20, 2009: "I'm a Holly and I think it's a good mix between not being too common and not being too difficult to spell/pronounce. I'm not an xmas baby either!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 02, 2009: "My name is holly and i love it..yeah sometimes people misspelled my name and put holy....and when people ask me whats my name they often think i said polly or molly...haha and yeah i used to get teased everytime deck the halls came on...and often people tell me i have a stripper name..lol but overall i love my name and im very proud of it:)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 21, 2009: "I like my name okay, but I agree that the Christmas songs and Hollywood jokes got really old. The sad thing is that everyone making these kinds of jokes thought they were the first to think of it, even though I have heard each one about a million times. My name is spelled Holley, but everyone always spells it Holly(I really don't care about that to much.) It is just the nick-names that bother me. Holy bible, Holleygrahm, Holleyluah... I have heard them all." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 14, 2009: "My name is Holly and I love it now. It was a little hard growing up a shy girl and having everyone singing you Christmas songs but now I feel very special celebrating my birthday on December 22 then getting more gifts on xmas. My Mom made sure I never got cheated out of gifts. I have many nicknames, Hollywood, Holly Beary, Holloway, Halleluiah,etc. I feel lucky to have a different name and have my family treat me extra special around the Holidays..."

Comment left Sep 10, 2009: "Honestly, I've been really happy with my name. Strangely enough, I was named after my grandfather. Apparently the name Holly was a popular man's name around 1899 when he was born. At any rate, I love that I know almost no Holly's. It makes my name special and meeting another Holly very special. And just so everyone knows, Holly also means holy. It doesn't just refer to a bush. LOL" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 20, 2009: "i named my daughter holli because i liked it and it seem to fit with my last name our last name my husband and i. my girl was born in march so it had nothing to do with christmas she seems to like the name ok but her middle name is renae, she said she wished we had spelled that name different!"

Comment left Aug 16, 2009: "I ain't crazy about my name because my name was 112 on the 1,000 most popular names in 1994. I feel sorry for any Hollys born in 1994. My name is officially Delta Dawn because it is a better name than the one I have" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 06, 2009: "If your name is Holly and you happen to live in a place with a high French-speaking population (like me), you will probably cause some discomfort as they struggle to pronounce the "H"... Yep - "Olly" is the result..! Anyway, I've never cared for my name at all - I've always been a tomboy but Holly has such a girly-girly sound... No option for a real nickname, either - which, by the way, is great to be able to have - in case (like me!) you wind up not fitting with Mom & Dad's choice..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 04, 2009: "My name is Holly and I love it. I COMPLETLEY disagree that it doesn't work for an adult because it does. I know a couple of adults called Holly. I was meant to be born on boxing day but i came late, 1st January. I get lots of nicknames- Holls, Hol, Holz, Holly berry etc etc. I think anyone with this name should be proud of it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 26, 2009: "I'm Holly. The only nickname I have ever OCCASIONALLY gotten is Hol. I was born in July, but everyone always asks if I was born at Christmas. My name was fine when I was a kid, but it's definitely not an adult name. I kind of wish I could change it. The nice part is, that it's never misspelled and is fairly common but not too common." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 22, 2009: "Looking for a name for my first baby (girl). I was hoping to find something sweet sounding for a baby but also works for an adult! I'm placing Holly on my list!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 20, 2009: "I was born December 12th. I don't really like being named Holly because EVERYONE will always put my name in a Christmas song, even when it's nowhere close to Christmas. Also, my last name is weird and really funny to a lot of people so they make fun of that too. It's just really annoying! But it's kind of nice to not be one of the many Allisons or Emilys. It's something people will remember." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 20, 2009: "My name is Holly and I love it. I've only ever met one girl named 'Hollie'. I was born in May, nowhere near Christmas, my parents named me Holly because they liked the name. I get the nicknames Hol Hols Hoza, etc. It's kind of annoying to not have a meaning for my name except a Holly bush, but I still love Holly and wouldn't change it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 11, 2009: "i'm a weird holly, because i was born in june. Everyone always asks if i was a christmas baby. nope sorry. i have always liked my name, my dad picked it. no reason he and my mom just thought it was cute. my middle name is jean and i actually met another person who's mom has the same name. weird. my gradma used to call me haji. i guess a combination of holly jean."
