Love the name, dislike the "most obvious" nickname

My husband and I have loved the name Hollis for years. We're planning to name our child Hollis whether it's a boy or a girl.
The problem is, we really dislike the nickname "Holly," but completely understand that this is likely the nickname that people with give to our little one (especially if it's a girl).
Ugh. Just venting. We love the name so much that we definitely want to use it.

Re: Love the name, dislike the "most obvious" nickname
Honeslty if I hated a most obvious nn I wouldn't use it. Especially because there is a chance my kid would want to go by it then what?

DD3 is Gabrielle, but I HATE the nn Gabby. We correct people when it comes up, but surprisingly, it doesn't happen too often. We (or she, she's 11) introduce her as Gabrielle and that's what people call her.
