My mom gave me two middle names. One is Eric, and the other is the rarely heard name of Rolf. In 54 years I had never met a person named Rolf until I met our General Manager here at Townsquare Media, Rolf Pepple.
I think my first name is fairly rare as well...
Parents have always tried to keep up with the times and come up with unique or interesting baby names. But now more than ever, unisex names are the big trend.
Fads come and go, and I'd be nervous that I'd scar my kids for life!
