I like Anton, Bertram, Brigitta, Hannelore, Ilsa, Leopold, Ludwig, Rainer, Ulrich, Wilhelmina, Wolfgang, and Wolfram.
Friedrich and Winifred also have their charm...

I take it you don't live in Germany?Because those names are ALL terrible to modern German ears. Anton is the only exception, really.
We'd pitty children punished with any of the rest of these.

I disagree. Friedrich and Leopold are actually on the rise, and Ludwig is still alive and well on babies born down south. And Anton, as well as its feminine counterpart Antonia, has been one of the up-and-comers in recent years.Edited because autocorrect is going haywire on me.
