Someone suggested the name ‘Hollyn’ to me (nickname [name_f]Holly[/name_f], feminine variation of the boy names [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_u]Holland[/name_u]). I think it sounds beautiful but I’m reading comments on the internet that it sounds “trashy” and “made up”
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like the girl name Hollyn?
No, sorry. I have similar opinions to those you’ve already heard.
It looks cute written out, but when I say it out loud, its not the best thing i’ve heard.
Sorry, I agree with this.
Honestly, I love it! This is my first time hearing it though. I adore [name_u]Holland[/name_u] nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f], and Hollyn just sounds and looks so adorable to me.
I love it!!! I don’t love the nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f], but I’m not big on nn in general. If you have a beautiful name, use it! And this falls in to that category! It’s a lovely name!
Sorry, I hate it. [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is beautiful.
I don’t dislike it, and I wouldn’t call it trashy, but it does feel a bit made up, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I do prefer [name_u]Holland[/name_u]. I feel like Hollin might be a better spelling than Hollyn. The “y” can often make a name look like a trendy, made up spelling, but I think that’s less of a problem with the “i.”
Hollyn is pretty but I would stick with [name_f]Holly[/name_f] because it sounds like the masculine name [name_m]Colin[/name_m]. I agree with PP, I prefer [name_u]Holland[/name_u].
It’s not for me. It seems trendy and would make sense with similar names out there (I know Jamesyn, Allysin and [name_f]Madilyn[/name_f] from my sons’ classes and play ground friends) but I don’t like the concept at all.
I like simple [name_f]Holly[/name_f]. [name_u]Holland[/name_u], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], Hollyn, etc., I can see the appeal of, but I like [name_f]Holly[/name_f] just fine on its own. 
I prefer [name_u]Holland[/name_u] or [name_f]Holly[/name_f], but it’s up to you. For me it kinda looks a little made-up, but it’s not terrible.
It does look made up, I’m afraid. If you like the pronunciation, Hollin looks better to me.
I agree with this response…
I’d just go with [name_u]Holland[/name_u] - I know a couple who had a baby girl about 2 weeks ago and named her [name_u]Holland[/name_u].
I like Hollin okay. [name_u]Holland[/name_u] sounds cultured, [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] sounds preppy, and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] sounds just a tad Christmasy.
Hollyn does sound made up and trendy to me. I wouldn’t say “trashy” but I personally tend to associate kreatyv spellings with that demographic.
Sorry!
Honestly I do like it.
I agree that the spelling Hollin might be ‘better received’, but I don’t think it sounds ‘trashy’ or made up. It’s a nice alternative to [name_f]Holly[/name_f]
