Tidlig i 2017 fikk Vålerenga-unggutten en original idé: Han ville endre navn og spurte foreldrene om lov til å legge til «Thiago» som mellomnavn. Barcelona-supporter Odin Holm var nemlig inspirert av tidligere Barca-stjerne Thiago Alcantara, en spiller han kan identifisere seg med når det gjelder spillestil...Etter mye overtalelse gikk foreldrene til slutt med på sønnens ønske, søknaden ble sendt til folkeregisteret og hans offisielle navn er nå Odin Thiago Holm. Det er navnet som nå står i passet.
