John Greenleaf Whittier, named of course after the influential American Quaker poet. Come on, people, he wrote "The Song of the Vermonters, 1779" in 1828:

"Hurrah for Vermont! For the land which we till
Must have sons to defend her from valley and hill;
Leave the harvest to rot on the fields where it grows,
And the reaping of wheat for the reaping of foes."

I think the name fits. The Greenleaf part if obvious. The Whittier part is because Alison and her sister are both whittier than any of us.
I am a vivacious person with effervescent thoughts and bubbly feelings, which I used to save for my diary and therapist before realizing I could share them with a million strangers, unless of course we've met before in which case remember that time we were at that place and then I did that thing? Sorry about that... Also I'm a writer, pop culture analyst/expert and regular TV guest. Care to be impressed by my credentials? Well then, from 2005—2008 I did Best Bets with Alison Rosen, a segment on WNBC's Weekend Today in New York show. I've appeared on Montel, Chelsea Lately, Hannity & Colmes, Fox & Friends and a bunch more and I'm a regular commentator on Fox News Channel's Red Eye. I wrote for the Los Angeles Times when I was 18. I'm a former Time Out New York editor. I'm a contributing editor for Page Six Magazine. I've written for a zillion publications including Rolling Stone, Maxim, Spin, People, Village Voice, New York Press, Nerve, Seventeen, Vibe, Seattle Weekly, Minneapolis City Pages, OC Weekly and Page Six Magazine. I used to play guitar in a punk band. I have naturally black hair. I won NY's Funniest Reporter competition.

Looks like it got drunk from that beer bottle right there.
Fern, because it's not one.
I can't believe I actually clicked on the picture of the plant, to see it closer.
What the heck is going on in that picture to the left of the plant? I don't even want to know.
If it's a girl, Gladys. If it's a boy, Sven.

I bet you people will never guess what I'm reading...
