Analogman Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The flipping through a dictionary for a name is a GD thing. Hadn't heard of UT doing it, as well.... They didn't - it was taken from two columns of words written on a single page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thagle Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 i've only heard that it's an abbreviation for 'will comply' or that it's because they are from Will County I recall seeing a small company named "Wilco" on Irving Park road (nw side of Chicago) and always hoped Jeff got the name from that..... silly people do your homework. Wilco is now a chicago band but once upon a time when they started, they were a St. Louis band which has nothing to do with Irving Park or Will County Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woman at the bar Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I recall seeing a small company named "Wilco" on Irving Park road (nw side of Chicago) and always hoped Jeff got the name from that..... look closer - I think it's actually called Wilcox. It's a real estate broker office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gym Teacher Man Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 silly people do your homework. Wilco is now a chicago band but once upon a time when they started, they were a St. Louis band which has nothing to do with Irving Park or Will County i specifically stated that they are not from Will County in the same post you decided to partially quote, silly. the "since the latter is false" part... i've only heard that it's an abbreviation for 'will comply' or that it's because they are from Will County. since the latter is false, i've always just assumed the former to be true.
