Comments for the name Hollis

There is a book titled Pictures of Hollis Woods, about a young girl named Hollis.

Hollister is a brand of clothes.

I love Hollister (which I shop at) and Pictures of Hollis Woods (which I read)! But anyway, I love this name. Actually once I read Pictures of Hollis Woods I really liked it. I love this!

Hollis is a character from An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. She's the mother of Lindsay, who Colin later falls in love with after a procession of 19 Katherines. It's a good book; you should really read it.

I think Hollis is a lovely, dignified name. The one downside: Hollister, an overpriced clothing store an earlier poster mentioned, comes to mind whenever I hear "Hollis." I'm not a huge fan of the store, so it ruins an otherwise perfect name.

Melora Creager, lead singer and founder of cello rock band Rasputina, has a daughter named Hollis.

I can't stand Hollister, and this name isn't any better.

Hollis Mason was the original Nite Owl in the graphic novel Watchmen.

There is a very minor character in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind named Hollis.

There is an NFL player named Hollis Thomas.

I love Hollister, but the name Hollis is not my style.

You may remember this name from the 1974 film, 'Chinatown': Hollis Mulwray was Faye Dunaway's character's husband, the chief engineer of the Los Angeles DWP who was murdered for knowing too much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown_(1974_film)

Hollis sounds unattractive to me, more suited to a middle-aged or elderly person. Holly would make a good nickname or alternative.

This is my 16 year old son's name. People seem to really like it, and the name does suit him as he is very unique. I love that this name is different yet legitimate, and is in no danger of becoming ubertrendy. We have never met another Hollis in person, but we've "heard" of a few others. The gender split seems to be half and half. Sometimes people have mistaken the name for "Thomas" or "Horace" but, surprisingly, not very often. I think that's because it's such a simple name.

I like this name, it's really cool and unique! But only for a boy... It doesn't seem very feminine to me. It actually didn't remind me of Hollister at all until you guys mentioned it
