Boy name

What do you  think about Holden for a boy name? My favorite book is Catcher in the RYe and the main character is Holden.

Well, I didn't think of Catcher In the Rye when I read your post...so that is a good thing in my case. You're probably going to dislike me but I hated that book. I think I read it when I was too young but the main character annoyed me. However I know the draw to using literary names because PridePrejudice is my favorite and if we have a girl I'd love to use Elizabeth.

I'm not generally a fan of LNs as FNs and I wouldn't use that particular because of Catcher in the Rye.  Like PP, I found the character to not be someone I'd name a kid after.

To be honest I have never read the book. But I do like the name.

I heard it years ago when I was a kid on a soap opera my mom watched.  I liked the name then.

It's ok, NMS, but not horrible.

Love love LOVE it!!  It would be my #1 pick if it didn't sound so totally weird with my last name. 

I am also a huge Catcher fan, FWIW.

I like the name Holden, but I wouldn't name my child after that character.  He's not really an inspiring person.

Both the name and the book are okay... NMS.

I have a soft spot for LN as FN (even though I do try to avoid it). I really like the name Holden. I like the sound of it.

I do not like Holden Caulfield...he was a jack-a$$.



Happily Married since 2009

I love you to the moon and back!
