Today in a common area outside my office, a lady that I barely know was talking to two of my co-workers (high school degrees, 60-ish, worked at this same place for over 25 years) about a friend of hers who had just had a baby, whom she named "Holden."
[Me (to myself upon overhearing): Holden Caulfield? That's kind of too precious and trendy. Like "Scout."]
One of the two co-workers: Oh... like William Holden?
Lady: No... I'm pretty sure it was after the character in "Catcher in the Rye."
Both co-workers: [silence for a few seconds, then one of them] Oh...Cool.
