I just saw the most adorable little girl on Humans of [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] named [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]. She looked so sweet that I fell in love with the name.
I’m typically not fond of word names but just how bad is this one? It has the built in nick name [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and I’m sure [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] will be a nice name sake to have.
Thoughts, opinions on the name? Honest opinions are more than welcome.
Thank You to all who respond.

I love [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]. I think it sounds quirky and unique, and I love the link to “Breakfast at Tiffanys.” I would love to meet a little [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]
@mscatalinahope I’m glad you like the name I totally forgot the “Breakfast at Tiffanys” connection, so in my eyes that makes the name even more usable.
I think [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] is a lovely quirky name. I would just advice to avoid putting another word name as a middle name. Something like [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would be wonderful.
I was just about to post a thread about the same name. I’m watching [name_f]Holliday[/name_f] [name_m]Grainger[/name_m] in the [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] mini series on the [name_m]History[/name_m] [name_f]Channel[/name_f].
I’m glad to see such positive responses. The actress is beautiful, and really got me liking the name.
@blackcatsmeow I like unusual names so the advice I typically get on here is to use a classic middle name, or give them a classic first name and call them by their quirky middle name. I understand the reasoning behind the advice so thank you for the heads up.
@c@29 [name_f]Glad[/name_f] there is another HONY fan here, she really was a sweetie
@birdies You have a great taste in names. I made that mistake already by asking about a name and not checking to see if there was another recent thread on it. It really is a beautiful quirky name.
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f] is precious, spunky, sweet, and feisty. I love it! That little girl wears it perfectly!
Unfortunately for me, my step grandmother who replaced all our family photos and keepsakes in my grandfather’s house with glass cases full of creepy dolls and porcelain chickens is named [name_f]Holly[/name_f]. Definitely not naming my child after her, so [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] is sadly not on my list.
It’s cute in [name_u]America[/name_u], but I would just add that if she decides to travel abroad, especially to Europe, people might find it overly frivolous.
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f] is a beautiful name. Now and then I think about it and wonder whether to put it on my list. That and [name_f]Temperance[/name_f].
The actress, [name_f]Holliday[/name_f] [name_m]Grainger[/name_m], is English but - as good as she is at acting - I’ve always thought her name was silly.
