I doubt whoever wrote the description for this name actually read Whittaker Chambers' book "Witness" or knows anything about the reality behind the so-called Red Scare. We are considering Whittaker as a middle name for a future son not despite the connection to Whittaker Chambers, but in honor of him - one of the bravest, wisest, and most misunderstood Americans of the 20th century.
