I love this name its my fav (apart from my kids' names) and if I have another girl one day I'd really like to use it, the trouble is I have a Hayley. Do you think its too close? Does Skye sort of balance it out (if that makes sense), do you think people would notice or care if Hayley and Holly are in the same sibset?

Thanks. :)

ETA: I like Holly May (May is my great grandmother's middle name) and also Holly Rose (I don't care that its too flowery) and Holly Elise/ Elizabeth (Elise/ Elizabeth would be after Grant's grandmother, Elizabeth)

Holly and Hayley are too similiar. You could use it as a middle name, though. Do you like Molly?

I hate Molly, but thanks for your suggestion.

I think they sound way too close. ): You should use Holly as a mn.

It's a little close but I do love the name Holly. It's beautiful!

I think holly is fine!!! It's kind of cute with Hayley, actually. There might be a little confusion but I think you'd be ok. My favorite combo is Holly May!

Holly is way too close to Hayley, IMO, but since it's not etymologically related to Hayley, it would be okay as a middle name.

I love Holly, but it's way too close to Hayley imo.

I do like the combos Holly May and Holly Elise though.

I prefer the spelling Hollie but all the same, I like it! Yes, I think it's a bit close to be honest, Holly and Hayley.

Maybe if you said Hayley, Skye and Holly it wouldn't be so bad, but if you were just with Holly and Hayler for example, it may be confusing!

Love Holly May

Sorry, but I personally think Hayley and Holly are way too close for sisters. Maybe you could use Holly as the mn instead? What about Elise Holly? Hayley, Skye and Elise work really nicely imo.

I do like Elise Holly. Thanks.
