We were looking for names that would transliterate well into Chinese so we wouldn't have to come up with both English and Chinese names. We found a good one, I think. By sheer chance, his wife's name transliterates well, too (her family is Pakistani so I assume it's an Urdu name originally).
When my Mom was pregnant with my youngest brother, the proposed girl's name was a mashup of the two grandmothers, one for first and one for middle. His name is from two great-uncles or something like that. My own first name goes back to a great-great-grandfather or something like that. But, yeah, sometimes using those old names does not work so well in the modern era. Though I kind of like Ignatius. It's a grand old name that goes back to Latin and has some interesting historical antecendents (e.g. the founder of the Jesuits).
A name I would probably avoid due to my mental association of the name with the lead character of Blackadder.
When I was walking through my neighbourhood recently, someone had a huge table of dark red peppers sitting in front of their garage. Not sure what type, but they were the "banana" shape so could have been hot.
