Re: Holden
in reply to a message by Lotta
A girl at my school got pregnant last year and named her son Holden. She was going to name him Holden Caulfield, but he ended up Holden James. She apparently really liked The Catcher in the Rye.
I think it is very much tied to the book, and it has a very trendy sound (being a surname and all, and ending with -en) but I don't think it's unusable. The Catcher in the Rye is a pretty well-respected book. Just expect quite a few comments on it ("Oh, was he named for the character?")
