I think Virl is quite strange, but it doesn't matter, all you have to do is look at the phone book in Utah, you'll see plenty of "unique" if not strange names.
Also calling a grown man of 48 years old "Donny" is strange to me. President Donny Bush?
Which leads us to another point. People who don't think about the nickname possibilities or the words initials might spell when naming kids. We couldn't use Andrew ourselves because the nickname of "Andy" would have made a living h*ll for our son when put with our last name. And you know that no child is going to go with "Drew" when they can use "Andy" in that situation.
