I like and dislike the name Holden. It's obvious literary associations are quite appealing to me, while its actual sound is not. I don't like the way it sounds, to my ears, like "holdin'."

I predict that in the next few years it is going to witness a surge of popularity much like the one that Hayden has seen, but that shouldn't stop you from using it if you truly love the name.
