Salinger 
German, English, "Last name"
If your favorite book is Catcher in the Rye, but you're worried that the name Holden is too cliché, pay tribute to one of the most influential writers of the 20th century by naming your boy (or girl) after the author. With the nickname Sal or Sally, Salinger sounds a lot more natural as a first name than Kerouac or Roth.
