Holo's voice sounds very nice also. Doesn't hurt the ears like so many others xD
Aye... I'm fairly happy that the english dub actors are taking the time to SAY "ホロ” properly - however it ends up spelled.

(For those unfamiliar with Japanese - the "L"/"R" sound uses a bit of the phonetic sound of 3 english letters "L""D" and "R" .... the mouth uses muscles and positioning that combines those sound)
