who do you think her mate would be?
You can't say "she wasn't interested in having a mate." The authors would've retconned that, and every of she-cat protagonist in the series has or had a mate regardless of their goals or not. They would've definitely have given Holly a mate if she had lived.
Realistically, I think either Molewhisker or Mousewhisker. Her and Molewhisker have similar serious personalities, Mousewhisker just because he's a single tom in ThunderClan.
Bonus Question: What do you think Hollytuft's name would be instead?

Cinderheart and Fallen Leaves are the only cats I can see her with. And I'm fine with her name.

she could either stay single and wait for death to be with fallen leaves (like what jayfeather is doing for half moon), or if fallen leaves isn't in the picture, i could go for either hollyleaf x mousewhisker or hollyleaf x toadstep. i am leaning more towards hollyxtoad simply because i like mousewhisker with icecloud.

I'm not sure tbh. I don't personally see Hollyleaf with a mate or kits. She was always pretty ambitious as an apprentice, and even had that whole conversation with Squirrelflight about being unsure or having kits or mate way back in PoT.
As for Hollytuft, maybe named after Foxleap? Or even named after Firestar?

They're not going to give Hollyleaf a mate so long as they can get away with the ghost mate angst that they seem to chose for her.
But if they did, it'd be amazing if it was Molewhisker or Mousewhisker. Admittedly it's more so because of spite than anything else, but if she gets with them then they are suddenly going to be considered Firestar adjacent and the people who incessantly yell about nepotism will be forced to remove them from deputy consideration. So in that sense, I guess her mating wouldn't be so bad for me personally.
Still, I'd prefer single over that small victory.

She'll just probably wait until death for Fallen Leaves.

I'm all for her not having a mate until death. It's interesting now that I think about it, that'd make two out of three of Leafpool's kits waiting until death to be with someone. I don't get MouseHolly, do they even have any friendly interactions or anything for me to go off of? Or is it just a cracky ship the fandom's into just because Mousewhisker's single?

I think one of the reasons why they are shipped is because of an interaction between them in Eclipse; during the great battle between the four Clans, Mousewhisker injured one of his eyes and Hollypaw was there fighting alongside him and making sure that he didn't get hurt. This is also only from faulty memory, but I'm pretty sure that he was quick to welcome Hollyleaf back when she returned in The Forgotten Warrior.
I don't ship these two myself, but I can see why people would like the couple. I think Hollyleaf's interactions with Mousewhisker have no more merit than say, her interactions with Honeyfern or Hazeltail.

She fought alongside him, but so did Brackenfur, Cloudtail, Thornclaw, and Brambleclaw. They were all on the same patrol and the one who actually saved him from Emberfoot was Brackenfur, not Hollyleaf. And no, he did not welcome Hollyleaf back in The Forgotten Warrior. In fact, he's actually among the first to be suspicious of her and assume she's connected with Sol.

I actually did remember her having some interactions with Hazeltail, though. Like there was a scene in Long Shadows where they were together and Hollyleaf referred to Hazeltail as her friend, and in Sunrise, Hazeltail was the cat with Hollyleaf when she was ripping apart that dead mouse thinking it was Leafpool, and was very worried for her.
