Carroll means Champion in another language according to my brother, all the Carroll's I know have certainly lived up to it!

Charles Carroll of Carrollton signed the Declaration of Independence, fourth name under John Hancock! And his name is mentioned at the end of National Treasure (a Nicholas Cage Movie)! And John Carroll was the first Bishop of Baltimore as well as America. Daniel Carroll signed the Articles of Confederation. Lewis Carroll is not the only well known Carroll out there. It is my last name and every year my family has hosted a Caroling with the Carroll's party before Christmas, it is a very handy name.
I like this name for male. I actually do know a male Carroll, which happens to be his middle name. He prefers it to his first name. I think it is a fairly unique name, and I associate it with a very musical and fun person.

My paternal grandfather's name (Carroll William). It holds a special signifigance for me because of that - I never got to meet my grandad as he died before I was born. Very nice (it's Irish - of course it's nice) sound to it, too, and a pleasing spelling aesthetically.
