Malcolm (amusing fact: the 'Malcolm' of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' was, historically, King Malcolm III Canmore. "Canmore" could mean either "great chieftain" or "big-head", according to taste.)

Malcom is my husband's second name, 'great chieftain', would fit the bill as far as he is concerned! ;D

Rockmetteller (unlikely first name of a minor character in some of the Jeeves stories by PG Wodehouse. He's American, of course.)

Lunar, actual name of a recent newborn into my family a distant part of the family.

It's a little girl and it did make me think of Johnny Cash, 'Boy Named Sue'?
