Real opinions on the boy name Holden?

Question

I post all the time for names I "kinda" like. But I'm about half way through my pregnancy and haven't decided yet😭. But I think I found "the name" his full name would be Holden Timothy, big brother is Caden Charles. My family I don't think likes the name much but not my problem if me and my husband do. But I want real opinions, like is it a weird or terrible name?

Answer

I think the generation of moms today are just picking “different” classic names. I think Holden is an example of an old classic, but it’s just different to our generation’s parents. I’ve stopped giving much thought to our parents’s opinions. I personally think Holden fits in perfectly with the style of names many parents are picking out these days. With the things I’ve seen some parents naming their kids lately, an older classic name like Holden isn’t going to make anyone do a double take on it once he’s going to doctors’ offices or school lol.

Answer

I love Holden. Makes me think of Mindhunters though.

It’s not weird at all. I see the name often on here. It’s not my style, but I wouldn’t bat an eye seeing that name. If you both love it, keep it.
