This name is very cool and strong, I absolutely love this name and wish it were used as a English name.

Holger Louis Nielsen (1866–1955) was a Danish fencer, sport shooter, and athlete. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens. He is probably best known for drawing up the first modern set of rules for the game of handball.

Holger Czukay (1938-2017) was the bassist of German experimental rock band Can.

Holger Cahill (Edgar Holger Cahill) (1887 - July 8, 1960) was the National Director of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal.

As an addendum to my last comment.. I guess I'm the only one who does like the name! I think it's very masculine, but also timeless (I can imagine someone of every age with it). Holly is also possible as a nickname. There is a character named Holger in the novel I'm working on too.

One of the members of German band Letzte Instanz is called Holger Lieberenz.

Maybe I'm the only person who thinks this, but this name seems just weird.
