About Satchel

Chosen by Woody Allen for his son with Mia Farrow (now renamed Seamus), honoring the great old-time baseball player Satchel Paige, and by Spike Lee for his daughter, but far too eccentric for ordinary use.

Satchel for boys

First Woody Allen, then Spike Lee named their children to honor the great early black pitcher, Leroy "Satchel" Paige. A bit luggage-related for non-celebrity use, however.

Pronounced SATCH-ul.

As of November 2026, Satchel ranked #13993 for boys in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #2265 for boys in 1998.
