No, just no. When I take a notion for a strange name, I ask myself the question: Would *I* be happy to walk into a roomful of strangers and introduce myself as [insert name here], or would I be embarrassed? If a name fails that test, it shouldn't be given to a real child.
ETA: Just to clarify ... I'm thinking in terms of formal situations in particular, like a businesswoman making a presentation. I've grudgingly ruled out GP names like Absynthe and
Tiger in this way.
