voted for noneoftheabove earlier but after long thought, would retract and vote:

Valevictorian - yes, would have a real nice ring to it coming down the lane - or if you're looking for something scholarly, how about "Drexel" - located in Philly, no??? those boys thought they were pretty smart, well until they got caught lol...

Lloydobler - well, hafta admit it's clever ..

It must be very hard to try to find any name that will please everyone. In fact, it might be the worst job since key master...

I vote Valevictorian, agreed it would have nice ring as Durkin calls this name as he opens up in the stretch.

why not just herald, heraldry? sounds the same, we'd know what it's supposed to mean...

to be honest, i'd probably like scholarly, but don't like the spelling of scholarleigh.

Scholarly isn't available. And I'm not confident they give us Scholarleigh either.

I tried the Herald route. There's a number of names with 'Herald' in it. Tried Hayroll... Hayrol'd... etc...

Harold himself was fine with it, though he was kind of mystified by the request. He asked that I deal with his business manager on it as he didn't know if there were NFL league ramifications because he is employed by the Eagles... His business manager, while nice about it, wanted a contract with all the conditions involved, etc., and I just couldn't see getting into that. I gave up.
