📖 Acerca de Neil
Neil es la anglicización escocesa del gaélico irlandés Niall, que significa "campeón" o "guerrero" (con el alternativo poético "nube"). Viajando por la Escocia medieval con colonos gaélicos y nórdicos, se extendió globalmente con las diásporas escocesas e irlandesas. En Australia ocupó consistentemente el top 35 durante los años 50 (alcanzando el puesto #32 en 1955), antes de declinar durante los años 60-70. Su legado cultural es enorme: Neil Armstrong caminó en la Luna en 1969, Neil Young definió el rock de protesta norteamericano, Neil Diamond produjo himnos que vendieron 130 millones de copias, Neil Gaiman reimaginó la mitología y Neil deGrasse Tyson se convirtió en el más amado comunicador científico de EE.UU.
