What personalities or characteristics come to mind when you hear these boys' names?

Holden Hoffman


August Hoffman

What personalities or characteristics come to mind when you hear these boys' names?
(child) I imagine both with dark hair, brown eyes, and serious expressions...





(adult) Holden seems more like a doctor/CEO/other highly paid job... August seems more like a teacher and more friendly/approachable...





HTH :-)
Reply:Well, immediately with Holden, I think of Catcher in the Rye. Although, if I were to meet someone named Holden, I wouldn't associate the character's quality with the person. I would probably associate just an overall literary, reader, quality. I'd think "this person comes from a well-read home."





I associate August with being Greek or Roman. I suppose it's more Augustus, but I still get an ancient philosophical vibe from it. I think it's a great name.
Reply:Holden sounds a very successful and intelligent guy. When I hear the name August I think of a man who is very sensitive and emotional.






Reply:holden - strong, rich, secure





august - artsy, country, laid back
