Wife and I are expecting and are trying to come up with a middle name for a girl.. My wife saw the name Hollis in a baby name book and liked it. When we thought about it, we realized we could honor both of our mothers (hers = Holly and mine = Alice) if we change the spelling to Hollice. Cool or stupid? We're not trying to be trendy, just trying to honor the moms without picking one.
Thanks BBI.
How often does the spelling of a middle name come up?
BTW....I think it sounds fine.
Best of luck to you for a healthy delivery!
Daughter #2's middle name was my mom's first name
I don't think he should concern himself. Nobody but family and close friends will know the spelling of her middle name.
To the OP; IMO choose what is meaningful to yourself and your wife. That is what matters. And the nice thing is if a name is meaningful to the parents it will mean something to the child and be a sense of pride for them that their name was chosen especially for them. A great gift from a parent to a child.
Congrats!
and I know you might think it's noble, but grandparents love of a child (in my experience) won't change even a little based on the name.
but if you like it that's all that matters.
Hollice Meaning - ( New Window )
I personally like it and imagine she will too or at least understand the concept of it
This. Plus I do like it because it's unique but not too out there.
