The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

I tried to think of any name I could that hopefully isn't a joke, kinda old fashioned enough to get you picked on for in school, and/or way out there for pronunciation or spelling. No clue where you are, though, so this could be a list of names not to choose.

German word for 'eagle' might have some connotations idk

I personally only chose it because it's a cool sounding name that I like. I also doubt any sane person will make any unsavory connections, I'd hope.

I was gonna say Franz and maybe Waldo as well, but that would absolutely get you picked on. So if that doesn't answer the question, I don't know what will.
