I knew a girl in grade school named Sunshine, and I went to high school with one named Urania. My sister is named Kaye-Dee, aka K.D., and she was born years before k.d. lang became famous.
About designer/soft names, a lot of them seem to be Gaelic, like Colin, Cameron and Aidan. Soft names, but certainly real. Probably a few generations ago, Sean, Ian, and Kevin were considered soft. I agree with George Carlin asking "Whatever happened to Eddie? Where's Eddie? He was here a minute ago."
About someone naming their child Gonorrhea, there was a line in the movie Booty Call that referred to that. Sadly, this will kill the names Honoria and Honorius along with it.
Finally, how long before someone names a child J-Lo?
