    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 :o)

    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 it.  I think it is very cool - for a boy.

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