No, not necessarily. Katla, for example, is a common name in Iceland, and is one of their most famous volcanoes, in and outside of the country. Most people I've met are familiar with the volcanic association, but they all say it is beautiful nonetheless. It doesn't really matter what you name a child: gender-benders, places, objects (for example, Ashley, London, Jade...) It's your business, and yours alone. Regardless of what you call your child, you should raise them to believe that their name is special, and that they shouldn't make fun of anybody else's name.
