You are the only one I've heard of in my life.

It's a very plausible name, nothing wrong with
it, just not known about it before. Just not
the "John", "Mark", or "Michael" of names,
really.

Athol Morris mechanical repairs in Canberra - someone I DON'T recommend.

You've never heard of the band "the seekers"? There was an Athol
Guy in the seekers...

Never heard of Blair Athol?

The spelling with an o is the Scottish variant. The english
spelling is Athel.

Since we're all here discussing your name, how exactly do *you*
pronounce it?

1) Sounds like "apple", but replace the double P with "th"
(the way I say it in my head)

2) as above, but emphasis on the A, like "ay - thle"

3) "ay - thol", sounds like "ay - pole"

Hope that made some sort of sense.

You must be a young fella then.
Any Aussie of a decent age would know who Athol Guy is, a member of the
Seekers and former MP.

This is the closest one. Ath like in math (or someone with a
lithp saying mass :-p), followed by an l sound similar to in
"that'll" - the o is essentially silent to a slight u sound
although that's mostly due to poor diction. :-)

Of course yours is commoner. It's the english name, as opposed to the
more noble Scottish spelling. :-p
