  i know a woman named Hollis (in her mid 30's) It really suits her and I like it a lot. I don't think of it as a boy's name, though.

  There's a character on HBO's Big Love named Hollis Green -- so aside from the creepy polygamist connection, I like the name.

  It's my nephew's middle name - it's a family name.

  I had a friend in high school named Hollis.  It suited her quite well.  I'm having trouble picturing it for a boy, but if I knew a male Hollis I'm sure it would make more sense.  I think it's a pretty cool name.

  I know of a baby girl Hollis....I think of Holly immediately.

  I like Hollis though-more modern than Holly.

  I have heard it once before and really like it. I wouldn't consider it because we live near a town named Hollis.

  I think of the Run DMC song "Christmas in Hollis."

  Which is fun.

  There's an adolescent book called Pictures of Hollis Woods and Hollis is a girl. I think it's cute )

  I know a Hollis (a 50+ year old man) and I love the name.  I suggested it to my DH, but he vetoed.  I think it's just cool, though.

  I know two grown men named Hollis. Certainly it is supposed to be a male name but will inevitably be androgynized.

  I like the name Hollis. It was on our list of possible boy names, but DH nixed it.
