I actually try not to pick names like
Dagny for that very reason. Granted I do like a few old-time Swedish names that are no longer popular, though. A lot of the English-speaking users are probably not used to hearing names like
Dagny on any age group.
I can understand how you feel. I am also guilty of liking dated Italian names as well, such as
Carmela,
Salvatore, and
Filomena. But I realize that some Italians may find them old-fashioned or even ridiculous.
