Sterling and Lincoln remind me of old men sipping brandy, smoking cigars and talking about their millions in stocks.

Holden - JD Salinger!
Lynn
Wayland - never heard of this as a name... but I kinda like it.
Erving
Paxton
Lenox
I found it odd that Russell, Randolph and Lee were on the list close together. All three of them are counties in Alabama(where I live).
