Re: Holden
in reply to a message by Mie
I don't care for it. It's not too surname-y, but it sounds like slang for "hold on." "I'm holden' on, don't worry!"I don't think Hayden was that successful...more of a "one night stand" in nameland. It surfaced for a while, then went away, popping up every once and a while. It'll resurface again when the third installment of Star Wars comes out, with actor Hayden Christensen. Hayden is an OK name. Better than Holden, I think.Edit 1: Spelling, formatting, and reworked a sentence.
Edit 2: Formatting, again.

LOL ... are you located in the south? The example that you provided ("I'm holden' on, don't worry!") sounds very much like something that I hear on a daily basis. :)

Well, I didn't mean it with a Southern twang, but just as a lazy way of saying holding. LOL. It could go either way. :)
