As some of you know names intrigue I. I came across this while reading this month’s “Reader’s Digest“. It caught my attention. It was new to I. I first thought that it must be a joke, an alias — a pen name. But, of course, I had to look it up. I did. Now WE know. Wow. Kind of neat. Still not sure where the ‘holder‘ part comes in. Definitely wouldn’t appear to be the one who holds right to a house. But, we have a clue as to where the name comes from.

Appears that around 4,200 people in the U.S. currently have that name. So, it is not very common.
