Whats your thoughts? It sounds nice with our tricky surname and is difficult to shorten. I know it's a surname but I don't have an issue you that.

All that comes to mind is:

  1. The car (known as a bogan/chav brand, btw)


  1. Caulfield. Who was an absolute nobscrot and of the most irritating characters ever written.


And Catcher in the Rye is still a prescribed text in a lot of schools, so your Holden will come across this.

Not nice and surely his NN will be Hole?

We've started calling ds Holden because he looks like the little vampire boy from AHS. Grin

I think everyone will associate with Holden Caulfield, and he wasn't the most pleasant of characters....

This^^ (sorry). I haven't heard the name mentioned without someone immediately referencing Catcher in the Rye.

You could just change your surname to Mycock Blush
