DQs:

1. From a work of science-fiction or fantasy?
2. Do you have an unusual first name?

No
I’ll say Yes. While not unheard of, it’s not very common. I just checked the US Social Security name database, and it never ranked in the Top 1000 at any time in the last 100 years. I also don’t see it in the Top 200 names in the UK, which would be more relevant.
