Just found out we are having a girl! We have a boy now so I'm pumped to have one of each. We are struggling with a name though. How do you feel about Hollyn for a girl? Suggestions for a middle name? Our last name is sort of like Rhodes.

So pretty I adore it! What about rose as a middle.name?
Eta just saw your last name...hmm not sure if rose would work with Rhodes.

I feel it's a sweet name that is not babyish. It's unique to me. I have heard of Holland as a last name, but not Hollyn as a first name. Great choice.

I feel like it would constantly be written as Holland. When I said it aloud, they sound remarkably similar. Other than that, I don't mind it but don't particular love it. I do love Holly though.

I don't love it or hate it, but I would be afraid she would have to repeat it and spell it her whole life. But what matters is if you love it!

How do you pronounce it? It's confusing to me like it should be Holly-lynn but it's not.

@birdofafeather: it wound be pronounced Hol-in.
Thanks for the feedback! I debated on just Holland, but I think that's a Dutch boy name.

I agree with @Ree723: she'd be forever saying "no not holland, HoLLYN"
Congrats on baby girl!

Congrats! I love the name Hollyn. A friend of mine just named her little girl the same thing.

@Amelieisme: so Hollyn is not like Colin? It's sounds like colon?

I LOVE it! I have an acquaintance who named her daughter Hollyn. I would consider using it except it is so unique it would be obvious I stole her daughter's name!

I like it! It's unique but not totally out there. I've never heard it before!

I really like it! I went to high school with a girl named Halyn--pronounced exactly the same.

I think it's really pretty!! I do think that people would get confused about it vs. Holland though. Overall I think the name is really cute!

I don't like it sorry...sounds like a made up name.
Congrats on the girl!
