I really liked Hollis for the third name of this set, but I'm not too sure anymore. So what would you use?

Laurel
Oliver
Ivy

Laurel
Oliver
Avery

Or the Original

Laurel
Oliver
Hollis

#Avery #Hollis #Ivy

Hollis

I think it adds more of a different sound to the sib set if that makes any sense. It's different enough to stand on it's own but has the same kind of feel to pull off the sib set.

Hollis, definitely.

last thought on this set

So...

Ivy
Oliver
Laurel

They don't sound too...matchy to anyone?

I love Hollis, but I'd go for Ivy.

Hollis on its own, but

Laurel, Oliver and Ivy as a sib set.

Ditto.

I like Ivy. Avery is done to death and masculine-sounding, and Hollis is probably only alluring to some people because of trendy Hollister clothing (whose clothes incidently looks like every other store's).

LOL, Hollister didn't even enter my mind actually, that's funny. Laurel, Oliver, and Ivy is cute, but I don't really like Ivy (or Avery) that much. Do you have any other suggestions?

Laurel, Oliver and:

I'd choose something else with six letters:

Amelia
Carrie
Dahlia
Esther
Hannah
Imogen
Ingrid
Judith
Marian
Rachel
Sallie

I think I'd choose Imogen, Ingrid or Rachel. I always thought Rachel and Laurel would be adorable twin names.

- Treveta (BritanyaHSP)

I know, Hollis had six letters, but I just can't use it now...Rachel and Laurel would be cute twins, lol... I thought of Dahlia too, but I wasn't sure about it. Thanks for the suggestions, I like most of them :D

Ivy

Laurel, Oliver and Ivy.

It's a bit botanical, but I just don't like Avery or Hollis for a girl. They are male names, to me.

- Treveta (BritanyaHSP) +2

That's why I'm trying to find another name to go because so many say that Hollis is a boys name. And even though I like Hollis for a girl, a daughter might want to kill her mother for naming her that, lol. And I do not like Holly...didn't really like Ivy or Avery either, but can't seem to find the right name...if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks for your thoughts.

Happy to oblige. Laurel, Oliver and:

Hilary
Honor
Hesper (= setting sun)
Solace
Artemis
Eirlys
Glynis
Alix
Iris (again, too botanical?)
Fidelis (nn Del?)
Clemence
Charis / Carys
Maris
Damaris
Nerissa
Larissa
April
Beryl
Sorrel
Jonquil
Briar
Linden (too similar to Laurel?)
Robin
Devon (county in southern England, rhymes with Kevin)
Maren
Amelie
Sylvie
Sunny (as a nn for Sunniva, Sonya, Alexandra, Soleil?)
Sonnet
Meadow
Willow
Margot

I can really see a sibset of Laurel, Oliver and Devon. But have fun hunting down the perfect rio. Thanks for a fun thread.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking or April, and Iris, but they weren't perfect, lol, and Iris is a little too Botanical (as is Ivy)...There are so many choices, it gets so difficult to pick anything.

Thanks for your time :D

Uhhhm,

well it depends which gender you're using them for.

Hollis is a -boys- name in my opinion. and therefore, yes, use it for a boy and not a girl. it'd sadden me to see one of my future sons middle name son a little girl.

Avery has grown on me for a girl, mostly because I have a neice called Avery. but yes, it is a boys name and I think I prefer it on a boy.

and I just dislike everything about Ivy.

Thanks for your thoughts, Hollis and Avery are actually unisex names though, and I actually like Hollis for a girl, its kind of cute. Avery and Ivy I didn't really like, but was trying to find other names that might go.

Ivy.

Ivy, because...

Laurel, Oliver and Hollis would all have that open "au" sound in them.
So that eliminates the original combo, imo.
And as for Avery, I don't find the name very female, it's OK, but Oliver and Avery sound so... similar, because of the same stress, I guess.
I find Hollis better than Avery but Ivy even prettier.
First combo.

Laurel, Oliver, and Hollis.

I hate Avery on either gender, but especially on a girl

And with Ivy, it makes the sibset too themey.

Thanks for your opinion, Ivy and Avery are NMSAA anyway but I was just trying to find other names that might go.
