Decided on the name [name_u]Holly[/name_u] for our little girl due a week before [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] Going back and forth between the middle names. Opinions?
I agree both are lovely options
Personally I prefer [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. It’s warmer and somehow fits the [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] vibes
@elanorelle [name_f]My[/name_f] husband prefers [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], also. Partly because it’s just his taste, partly because I think he wants to call her KitCat
Yay congrats on the choice of [name_u]Holly[/name_u]! Both middle names are lovely! I have a slight preference for [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. It just sounds so festive to me! But [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] varies the syllable count 2-4 so it might sound better. [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]/Elizabeth is also very common for a middle name, if that matters to you.
You may want to think about which set of initials you like best. And if you’re into monograms which one you like the look of better. You can also try reading the full name out slowly like she’s graduating to see which you like the sound of best!
[name_u]Holly[/name_u] is so sweet for a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] baby!
Both are great options, but I think I slightly prefer [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. There are some repetitive sounds (Holly **[name_u]Eli[/name_u]**sabeth) but it sounds really soft and warm, which makes [name_u]Holly[/name_u] more joyful and Christmassy!
Thank you everyone who has responded! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] so much, so that’s what we are going to use. We are less than 5 weeks away from meeting this sweet girl, and I just can’t wait!
