Another vote for "not that weird". That's the first name of an OBGYN in town here.

If I've met someone over 30 with the name, I no longer consider it a "wacky made-up name popular with Pinterest moms"

Today I met a Latrenda and a Dagmar. I know Dagmar's a Scandanavian thing, but jesus.

My grandmother's name is Dagmar! She was born in Croatia and lived most of her life in the Czech Republic, and also is almost 80. Definitely not common around here though :canada:

Content: More of an awesome name, but I was reading in one of my textbooks about a pioneering Canadian neurosurgeon named Skip Peerless.

By my hand, I will take you from this godforsaken internet
I have an acquaintance from high school (who I haven't actually spoken to in 20 years but have on my facebook) who named her sons Grayson and Trig. She's forever associated with Sarah Palin in my brain now, and I hate to do that because she's really a very nice person :(

Husband met a Dr. Gert Kwakkel. It's probably a perfectly normal Dutch name, but I can't get over the fact that somewhere out there there's a Doctor Quackle, and he's not a cartoon duck.

I've had Pawel Kwak beer, named after a Flemish guy. It's good.

I don't think Xavier is that bad of a name, but it reminds me of when I was in the same car as two friends, and one informed us that the other guy's ex-fiance had called her kid that. Because of the way he pronounced it, the other guy spent five minutes marveling at what a lovely name "Savior" was and how glad he was that he had dodged that bullet.

That's from the original version of Little Shop Of Horrors. It takes place in a flower shop. The actor on the left is famous character actor Dick Miller in one of his earliest roles.

Rod Driver. His successor is Marguerite Bumpus which is kinda funny, too. He's seen as a bit of a whackjob, mostly because he speaks out against the Israeli government and is a math nerd Quaker, but he's an all right dude in my book.
