Caulfield
Caulfield is a surname of Irish origin.
The name gained literary currency through Holden Caulfield, the disaffected teenage narrator of J.D.
Salinger's *The Catcher in the Rye* (1951).
A "Caulfield" sometimes describes someone displaying adolescent alienation or contempt for phoniness: He's going through his Caulfield phase.
