Holly
I like the name Holly, but I've known a couple of Hollys and both give the name a negative connotation for me. As a result, I feel lukewarm about it. WDYT?

I really like it, though I much prefer Molly so Holly's never really made my short list. I've only met two Hollys in my life, both a couple years younger than me (I'm 20). Both are sweet girls so I have a fondness for the name, but like I said, I like Molly better.
The name Holly makes me think of bimbos and the '80s ...or a bimbo from the '80s. =/
I don't think I've ever really met a Holly before. Oh maybe once when I was younger actually and I think she was alright. I've never been a huge fan of this name, but just recently I've started to quite like it.
I love Ivy.
I've only met one Holly I liked... (out of 3+)
But she spelled it Hollie.

Me, too! [m]
The one I liked was a dog.

Ir's extremely bland to me.
Hello! =)

I've known several Hollys, and they were all different. Some were nice and some were really mean. I have to laugh at this name though, I have a friend named Holly Dae, which sounds a lot like holiday. I nicknamed her Hollidae in elementary school :D
I think its nice enough, but although I don't have any negative connotations, I do associate it with Christmas, so I think it suits a baby born around December better.
Names ending in "olly"--like Polly, Molly, Holly, don't do it for me. I really think girls outgrow them. Cutesy when they're little, but not the same when they're older IMO.
I don't care for it. It has no evokative qualities.
