Ding Ding Ding.... You got it (Almost). The name, "Elliot" is a reference to a lot of great people. TS Elliot, Elliot Carter, Mamma Cas Elliot, Elliott bay Book Company... even Elliot - the insane female doctor on "Scrubs."

Catcher is a straight up Salinger reference. Yes, I know they will be beat up by bullies because mom chose non-standard names (with my full consent).

I you are from around here, it doesn't matter what your parents name you.
Most everybody will call you "Bubba" anyway.

Here is a very interesting site that charts name usage over the years. It might even provide some inspiration:

http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html

My children are named Kira (after Jim Henson's "Dark Crystal") Hope (the first street we lived on... in Memphis) and Vance (my middle name... my first name is my dad's middle name) Ian (a nod to my wife's Scottish heritage). The only problem is that if my son continues the middle-name-becomes-first-name tradition... he will have to name his son Ian. My son is Hispanic!

Even though we still have til March, my wife is really pushing for a decision. Right now, she is pushing Wyatt or Parker but considering Franklin (calling him Frankie - and she thought Vinny was too NJ?)

Well, to be fair, In that picture I was as drunk as folks get on St. Patrick's Day.

On that day anyone could have played better than me.

Being Scottish and raising cattle, I liked the "Angus" offered..

Perhaps Abraham Angus Neilan.. "just call me Abe".. seemed to suit a certain tubist in Philly quite well...

The Colts (8-0) just recently aquired a player by the name of Anthony McFarland. However, he prefers to be called by his nickname..............."Booger" So, no matter what name you select, fate may either be kind or cruel.

William Neilan. William Jeffrey Neilan. William Clayton Neilan. William Anderson Neilan. William Harrison Neilan. William Henry (or Henderson) Neilan. William (insert father-in-law's first name) Neilan. William (insert mom's maiden name) Neilan. William (insert mom-in-law's maiden name - need points with her?)

We could all call him "Bill."

Lots of famous "Bill" tuba players - Bill Bell, Bill Rose, etc...

Bill Neilan.

Little Bill Neilan (or Big Bill Neilan), Tubist Extraordinaire.

I second that, William Neilan sounds great....

I am also partial to Karl (my son's name)
