So now you know what his first name isn't
Real conversation in the car ride home from school:
AB: Mommy, I don't really like my name. It's weird.
APL: It's not weird. It's popular in [other country], and your daddy and I think it's a great name.
AB: Well, I think it isn't very good.
APL: (sighing) Well, when you turn 18, you're free to change it legally.
AB: Good, I want to be called "Bullwinkle."
APL: You're going to change your legal name to Bullwinkle [LastName]?
AB: (laughing) Yes.
APL: Sounds good.
AB: Mommy, I don't really like my name. It's weird.
APL: It's not weird. It's popular in [other country], and your daddy and I think it's a great name.
AB: Well, I think it isn't very good.
APL: (sighing) Well, when you turn 18, you're free to change it legally.

I like AB's real first name and I'm sure he will change his mind about Bullwinkle....eventually.
I don't know AB's first name, but it can't possibly be better than Bullwinkle. Might be time to step into the wayback machine and make it happen.
Also:
NSAH = Not So Snidely Whiplash
ALB = Dudley Do-[Last Name]
Dudley Do-[Last Name] is very funny with their last name!
Oh, Liz, you are so right!!
I hated my names when I was young too. I thought I should be a Lisa or a Kimberly, or something hip and stylish, not old-fashioned and after an old comedienne (Judy Canova).
