I should think of Washington Irving and Sleepy Hollow. But the first thing that always leaps to mind is old Hollywood producer Irving Thalberg dying too young and poor Norma Shearer, his widow. So it has a bitter-sweet quality for me. And I love seeing "old man" names on boys. It's such a kick in the head when you meet one. Love it. So Irving gets a thumbs up from me.
