[Opinions] Holden and Holly
I was thinking today if I ever had twins that were a boy and a girl I would like to use the names Holden and Holly. I've always loved both names and they're different without being unheard of. Even as siblings that aren't twins, I think I might like to use them. What are your opinions? Too cutesy/matchy or does it work? Right now I'm thinking Holden Robert and Holly Jennifer after two important people to me, but I'm open to other combo suggestions as well. Thanks!

I don't really like them together for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge fan of sibsets with names that all start with the same letter.
I quite like Holly. Holden isn't a personal fave but it's not bad. I don't think the names are "matchy" in the way of being too similar to one another but I did notice that saying "Holden and Holly" aloud, with the vowel sound of Holly being similar to that of the Salinger character's surname, Caufield, made my association to the novel even stronger.
I think your chosen middle names are very nice. Some other ideas for Holly I was playing with recently...
Holly Abigail
Holly Danielle
Holly Guinevere
Holly Isobel
Holly Jeanette
Holly Miranda
Holly Winifred

I don't normally like twins with the same letter for their fn's, but these names work together as they aren't too close in sound.
very nice!
I think those are very nice combos. I don't think they're too alike, since they have different "o" sounds. They're modern-sounding names without seeming (imo) too trendy

I'm not crazy about either name, but I think that together they strike the right balance for twins. They start with the same three letters, yet the first syllable is pronounced differently. It's a right balance that says, "They're twins and we think that's special and we want it recognized but we realized they're different people!" A balance that's hard to achieve.
