\begin{abstract}
Pitts et al introduced a beautiful theory about names and binding based on the
notions of atoms, permutations and support. The engineering challenge is to
smoothly adapt this theory to a theorem prover environment, in our case
Isabelle/HOL. For this we have to formulate the theory so that it is
compatible with choice principles, which the work by Pitts is not.  We 
present a formalisation of this work that is based on a unified atom type 
and that represents permutations by bijective functions from atoms to atoms. 
Interestingly, we allow swappings, which are permutations build from two
atoms, to be ill-sorted.  We also describe a formalisation of an 
abstraction operator that binds sets of names.
