    Meh, don't like it. Holly is better imo. Hollyn sounds made up or like you're trying too hard.

    I don't like it.  It looks made up and also reminds me of a snobby all-girls college in my state - Hollins.

    Sorry, sounds made up.

    Love your screen name though.

    I agree it sounds a bit made up or like you are trying too hard. I like Holly, but Holly Grace doesn't sound great together imo.

    Its okay, I don't hate Hollyn.  You will definitely have spelling challenges and have to repeat yourself a lot.  I would assume the name is Holland if you told me over the phone.

    It is too close to Hollandaise sauce for me...

    My first thought was.... Holla'!

    Then it was, that the name looked made up.

    First though-SUPERFLUOUS Y!!!! Second thought-Why did they mess with a perfectly good name like Holly?

    ETA: Since I've heard the (horrible IMO) names Irelyn and Scotlyn before, Hollyn would be a great sibling for these!

    Hollyn sounds way too much like "Holland"...an obvious boy name.

    First thought- made up. Holly Grace is adorable, but Hollyn isn't.

    Holland, okay. Hollin, eh, but okay.

    Hollyn looks like you're trying to name after someone named Holly, but really didn't like how it sounded.

    I don't think its a bad name, but I would definitely spell it Holland. If you spell it Hollyn... people will think her name is Holly with an "n" as a typo.  I also don't like the whole trend of people adding "y"s to names all over the place.

    I have never heard the name Hollyn...I actually really like it! I love the name Holly for a girl, and Hollyn is a nice variation...to me it doesn't sound like one of those far-fetched made up names...I wonder if everyone would go right ahead and shorten it back to Holly as a nickname though.

    I actually got the idea because one of my all time favorite students was named Hollyn. I never heard anyone call her Holly, Hols yes, but never Holly...
