Re: Holly
in reply to a message by AutumnSunset
All the Hollys I've known were born in the '70s. Looking at the popularity stats it makes sense. It entered into the top 100 in 1969, left in 1990.
That said it's a good name. It never became popular enough to tie it directly to a decade/generation. It's familiar, easy to spell, and pretty. It took me a while to realize the all the Hollys I had known were born in the '70s - their personalities and locations were so different.
I just remembered, my dad had a cousin named Holly. She would have been born in the '50s.
And it's totally not tied to winter.
