[Opinions] I went to school with a Wolfgang.
This was WAY back in the early '90s. Sadly the only thing I remember is that he was a serious chunk and there was a rumor he weighed 100 pounds. (He was in kindergarten, so that is highly unlikely.)To me, it's a bit much. I have an unusual name (Haven) and I always have to spell it, explain how I got it, etc. I recently realized that the reason I dislike my name so much is that it generates such strong reactions in people - they either hate it or they love it, they always want to know how I got it, why I have it, etc. Giving a child an unusual name is putting a bit of a burden on them, so unless you have a strong reason to use it and a close connection to the name I'd say no.
