I was watching Sleepy Hollow the other day, the one movie with Johnny Depp. Ichabod Crane investigates the Sleepy Hollow murders / beheadings in both the movie and Washington Irving’s short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1820). I think the name though the meaning isn’t so great is an interesting name. It looks really cool and is fun to say actually. Since it isn’t used much to my knowledge it would be interesting to see where an author might take it if they name their character this. It would be even cooler if used in the modern era as that would seem kind of out of place but cool because of the antiquity of this name.
