While I absolutely adore [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] it’s more of a guilty pleasure name for me. I can imagine meeting a [name_m]Holden[/name_m] in real life.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is such a cool, beautiful, and intelligent name. One of my favorites! [name_m]Holden[/name_m] is amazing too, though, so you can do no wrong.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]! I love the connection to [name_f]Narnia[/name_f].
I absolutely love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]! It’s got a wonderful connection to both the [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] Sea and [name_f]Narnia[/name_f]. Plus, [name_m]Cas[/name_m] makes a great nickname option. [name_m]Holden[/name_m] is nice too, but [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is just amazing.
I prefer [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. [name_m]Holden[/name_m] and holding are pronounced more or less the same in my area, so I’ve always found it odd as a name.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is great! I like [name_m]Holden[/name_m], too, except that [name_m]Holden[/name_m] Caulfield is the really pessimistic main character in the Catcher in the [name_m]Rye[/name_m]. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] has a much better literary connection.
I love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], and in all honesty don’t really see the appeal of [name_m]Holden[/name_m].
I love the nature connection with [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], and though its been a long time since I’ve read them, I think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] was my favourite character of the whole series.
Oops, I accidentally voted [name_m]Holden[/name_m]. Not that it’s a bad name, but I’m [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] all the way!
Hmm interesting… gonna differ with most here and say [name_m]Holden[/name_m] all the way! [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is overly fanciful while [name_m]Holden[/name_m] is strong and ready to go for real life usage.
I’m torn. I like both, but I prefer [name_m]Holden[/name_m] as a FN and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] as a MN. I can’t imagine using [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] up front–it’s almost a GP for me–but I could [name_m]Holden[/name_m]. But I like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] better than [name_m]Holden[/name_m] in general. (I don’t suppose that makes any sense, lol!) Plus, I prefer the tie to [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] with [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] over [name_m]Holden[/name_m]'s literary connotations. I think I’m voting for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], because I like it better in general. 
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is classy. To me [name_m]Holden[/name_m] is a car. (Australia).
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] just sounds better to me, there’s the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] connection, and it has the nn possibility of [name_m]Cas[/name_m].
Definitely [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]'s my all time favourite name, and I love so much about it. To me he’s magical, energetic, adventurous, and handsome, with great associations. I love the literary connection, and although [name_m]Holden[/name_m] has the Catcher in the [name_m]Rye[/name_m], I personally wasn’t a fan of the character or book.
[name_u]Love[/name_u], love, love [name_m]Holden[/name_m]!
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] is the last name of some kids I grew up with, I didn’t really like them. When I hear the name [name_m]Holden[/name_m] I associate it with them. That is the only reason I don’t care for the name.
