📖 Sobre Neil
Neil é a anglicização escocesa do gaélico irlandês Niall, que significa "campeão" ou "guerreiro" (com o alternativo poético "nuvem"). Viajando pela Escócia medieval com colonos gaélicos e nórdicos, espalhou-se globalmente com as diásporas escocesas e irlandesas. Na Austrália, ficou consistentemente no top 35 durante os anos 1950 (atingindo o pico #32 em 1955), antes de declinar nos anos 1960-70. Seu legado cultural é imenso: Neil Armstrong caminhou na Lua em 1969, Neil Young definiu o rock de protesto norte-americano, Neil Diamond produziu hinos com 130 milhões de cópias vendidas, Neil Gaiman reimaginou a mitologia e Neil deGrasse Tyson tornou-se o mais amado comunicador científico dos EUA.
