Chisholm sounds like his mother's maiden name possibly. Excellent way to honour the maternal line if the last name is the father's.

Unusual first names can be hell on a kid early in life, but several adults have told me that they now like their unusual name because people tend to remember them and, as an adult, it can be beneficial to stand out from the crowd.

I was doing some research! There's this and this. I'm leaning to the latter because I'm in Oklahoma.
