It’s not that common but no so out there no people are like what kind of the name. No it don’t like my name that much but it’s my name and it’s part of me so I don’t have to problem with it.

When I was younger, I didn't like my name because it's somewhat hard to pronounce, and people always messed it up in some way, but it doesn't really bother me anymore. I can't expect people to get it right. I used to hate my name because people often pronounced it wrong, and you may follow it, but it's an elegant name, and I have come to like it. My name is Holly, and I love it. It's not that common, but not so out there that people are like, 'What kind of name is that?' I don't dislike my name that much; it's my name, and it's part of me, so I don't have a problem with it. I absolutely love my name. I love how it sounds; it just rolls off the tongue. Well, everybody likes my first name, but to me, it's not that special. It was very popular when I was born, so I had at least five girlfriends with the same name. I love the name Merty; to me, it's very beautiful and embodies all the fashions, but it's beautiful and feminine.
