One Syllable Second Names for Holly

violet_skye · June 5, 2016, 9:53am

Hello Berries,

I am in love with the name [name_f]Holly[/name_f], and I was wondering if there are any one-syllable names that you think would go well with the name so as to make it a double-barrelled first name. It may or may not be hyphenated. So far, I have [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], which I like, but I am not 100% about. Please let me know what others come to mind! Thanks

I love [name_f]Holly[/name_f]!

From your signature, I really like [name_f]Snow[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] sounds perfectly beautiful! It reminds me of [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and nature.

I have a [name_f]Holly[/name_f] combo… It’s precious to me, but I’ll likely never use it, since most of my close relatives are [name_m]French[/name_m] speaking and they can barely say [name_f]Holly[/name_f] (they say aw-[name_u]LEE[/name_u])… so I’ll suggest to you:

<3 <3 Holly Joy <3 <3

Holly Claire <3
Holly Wren
Holly June <3
Holly Faith <3
Holly Rae
Holly True
Holly Brooke <3
Holly Eve (the names slur together a bit aloud, but the meaning is wonderful)

I really like [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], and think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is kind of adorable. Other options are [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], or [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the combination might be too wintery/too much? Or is it ok despite the association? I’m very much in love with it

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

Thank you everyone for your replies, I am sticking with [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] as a double-barrelled first name for my list. Next question is: do you have any suggestions for a good middle name that would flow well with it? I am still in love with unusual and whimsy names so anything fitting that theme would be a bonus. Please let me know what your ideas are

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Jacinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] what came to mind first

anyagreenwich · June 6, 2016, 12:03pm

The reason why I think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] works is because [name_f]Holly[/name_f] has been used as a name for so long, that it takes a while for most people to realize it’s a nature name. [name_m]Even[/name_m] the name [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is so common as a name that when you meet someone with the name you rarely think of the flower at all. And [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - as a name and as a flower - is more common than [name_f]Holly[/name_f].

That said, it is wintery and nature-y. I don’t believe it’s “too much”, because it’s a theme you want and it doesn’t seem like you mind surprising people with your noticeably whimsical name choices (that I love!).

In my opinion, names that would be “too much” would be [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_u]November[/name_u] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] (even though it’s pretty).

I forgot to suggest [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Neve[/name_f], in case you like that. It has a positive meaning, too.

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (I can’t help it, it’s too adorable)
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_u]November[/name_u] (it’s too much but I still like it)
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Lilibeth[/name_f]

Since [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is a word, I would avoid other words in the middle name spot.

[name_f]Holly[/name_f]-[name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]-[name_u]Blaire[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]-[name_f]Fae[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] “[name_f]Holly[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f]”

luneth · June 7, 2016, 9:37pm

I second [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f].

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]

McCharlie · June 8, 2016, 3:08pm

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Spring[/name_f]?

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] sounds nice!

violet_skye · June 9, 2016, 8:00pm

Any other lovely middle name suggestions that follow the whimsy/unusual theme for [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] as a first name?

emiliana · June 9, 2016, 8:35pm

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] seems very christmassy to me, if I heard it I would assume the child was born around [name_u]December[/name_u]. However I the first middle name that came to me was [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

_thelittlefairywren · June 9, 2016, 9:12pm

I love [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]! Too cute! <3 But Holly Snow is also quite precious. Someone said Holly Snow Juniper, which I think is jut darling.

violet_skye · June 11, 2016, 9:46pm

After talks with friends and much reflection, [name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] does seem a bit too festive. However, I have found a middle name I really like: [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]. I would still like to pair [name_f]Holly[/name_f] with another short name for a double-barrelled first and keep [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] as a middle. In other words, it currently stands: [name_f]Holly[/name_f] _____ [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]. Any whimsy & unusual suggestions? I am a fan of uncommon names.
