Well, as a native English speaker, I have. It's what gave the name to
"Holloway Head", in Birmingham:

   https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/430568379

   https://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-h/holloway-head/

which is an historic street name, not a neologism.

That said, I have no view regarding the use of the term in tagging.
