“Nice try, but I’ve never met a guy named ‘Holly’.”

Nice try... Indeed

Per the WWW:

“The masculine names Holly, Hollie were derived from the surname, but have mostly fallen out of use since the mid 20th century due to the rise in popularity of the feminine name. Hollis is an English surname derived from a Middle English holis “[dwelling by] holly trees”; it was also used as a masculine given name.”

So ... you are going with the fact that prior to around 1950 some men were called Hollie(y) based on the English name Hollis?

Yeah, that judge is a guy, no doubt, and joma89 missed bc he didn’t click the article, and the vaccine is safe, and global warming is real! ... BWAAAHAHA!

You keep on fighting for one’s right to be deliberately illiterate, you keyboard crusader, you!
