If it must be one of those two, go with Holden. Hayden for a boy is already a joke because of the Ayden/Jayden/Kayden/Brayden/Greydan names that were emerged around 10-15 years ago. So many people hear those names and silently groan.

What about Haldan?

I love Hayden, but I’m biased. I just named my March 2023 baby girl Hayden. I was skeptical at first because it’s an -Ayden name, but, it has a different quality (warmer and softer, I think). It was the only name DH and I both loved. I’m sooo happy we went with it. It suits her so well.

Holden= Catcher in the Rye

Hayden= Jayden, Kayden, etc.

Both are clearly male names and are very popular in the south. I dont really like either, but I know people who have used both. I like Hayden better than Hayes (which is also popular in the south). I think the catcher in the rye reference will always be there for Holden.

I think these are both nice names. There are definitely some female Haydens. I don't get all the hate for Holden Caulfield. He's not supposed to be a sympathetic character -- that's the point.

Scott is a nice choice for a MN. Nearly every boy right now has James for either a first or middle name.

Between those two options, Holden. Better people think you're making a literary reference than Save the Cheerleader, Save the World.

No. Holden is such a detestable character, I’d never name my kid that.

Sorry, reread. The middle names suggest a boy!

Holden sounds more male to me. I think of William Holden. For Hayden I think of Hayden Panettiere. Although I would not be shocked to meet a girl with either name. And your post doesn’t clarify which sex you are having.

Holden because people will at least think you like the book and hence picked the name.

Hayden sounds made-up / trying to hard.
