I only know one Holly. No clue what time of year she was born, and she was born in South Africa anyway, mother born in the UK, father born here. She's in her early 20s. They are now resident in England. Holly's parents are both deaf: her mother has some hearing, can talk and lipread and gets along fine. Father is profoundly deaf but his parents didn't realise that anything could be done so he didn't get the early schooling that would have benefited him greatly. But, it's a good marriage and a happy family. They chose names for their children - Holly has a brother - which their father could more or less identify (he can sign well and lipread a bit). So, in her case, she was born where Christmas is in mid-summer and now lives in Yorkshire, but the name was the best choice from her dad's point of view.

The only -olly name I enjoy at all is, of all things, Polly. There's a 19th-century Polly on a branch of my family tree: in her case it was a nn for Mary, but I'd be happy with it as a stand-alone.
