Most of the time, I prefer this to Boomerang. More useable in multi-colored decks, too.

on the contrary wolf tokens are named as following
Wolf
Creature - wolf
2/2 they have a name and therefore tokens can be bounced by this spell.

Great against saprolings or Mirror-Sigil Sergeant.

The whole time I believed this bounces only cretures and today I look at and say to myself: ".... What ? (O-o) "
What the hell, how come it's common ?
EDIT:
@SirXero : I think you make the target illegal, and since it's the only target, the spell fizzles. The other cards should stay on the battlefield.

This. . . Is a very tough choice vs. Into the Roil.

@TheKoop
Per the official Magic Rules, when tokens are generated, they do have a name. The token's name is whatever creature types the token has.
Example: a token is generated that is a blue 1/1 Merfolk Soldier. The name of the token is Merfolk Soldier and has the creature types Merfolk and Soldier.
The only time a token has a specfic name is if the ability that is creating the token states what name it has. Helm of Kaldra is a good example of this as well as all of the Spellshaper creature cards from Future Sight where they created creature tokens that where named specifically after old Magic cards, such as creating tokens named Llanowar Elves via Llanowar Mentor or tokens named Cloud Sprite via Cloudseeder and sharing the same abilities as their actual card-printed counterparts.
Just remembered Dark Depths as another example of a card generating a token with a specific name.

I love the look on my opponents faces after they generate an army of tokens in mid game and they all get wiped out.

Theoretical Question: If I have 4 suntail hawks and my opponent targets a hawk to bounce all 4 back, if I use something to put the targeted hawk into the graveyard (i.e. terror), will my other hawks still bounce?
I mean, by the time echoing truth resolves the targeted hawk is no longer a legal target...

Amazing utility and great against one-shot token generators.
