It's friendly sounding, ages well, and isn't too popular where I live. One of my cousins has a little girl named Holly. She's the sweetest thing.

I think it's cute and sweet, in the same category as Melody. It's also a very happy, peppy name.

I love Holly! But it's in the GP category for me because of the whole holy thing.

I think Holly should be given to a girl born during the holidays.

I like it. I have a cousin named Holly Noelle, she was born around Xmastime. She's one of my favorite people.

I think it's fine, but I don't love it. Maybe because I find it a bit nicknamey, even though it is a full name. I think its a bit young sounding and I can't quite imagine it on an adult

I really like it. To me it falls into this group of "modern classics," which are names that sound to me very usable and popular now but also could be seen on a elder lady so they're not as dated: names like Natalie, Candace, Noelle, Holly, Melanie, Elise, Valerie, Miranda, Vanessa, Heidi, Gwendolyn, Bridget, Sabrina, Lydia, Alison, Adrienne, etc, etc, etc.

Holly is very cheerful sounding :)

I've always liked it. It's sweet and cheerful and friendly.

It's an ok name, nothing special but stil a classic! Prefer the spelling Hollie to get the name more life and spunk!

I think it's cute for a girl born in December.

I like it too. It is a little dated, though. And very very common in Britain so if I lived there I wouldn't use it. I also like Hollie, but prefer Holly.

I love the name Holly, simply because I'm a fan of botanical type names. I also like the name for it's understated nod to actress Audrey Hepburn's most famous role as Holly Golightly. DH loves it too.
