I don’t think of Esme as all that unusual of a name, just a literary or pop culture referency one. A lot of people are familiar with the J.D. Salinger short story, “For Esmé with Love and Squalor”.
A few years back I was in a feed store in a small central texas town. A lady was there with two small boys about a year apart in age. They began running around and in general being little pests. The mother finally had enough and yelled at the top of her lungs HUNTER… FISHER get over here! I reckon we know who named those boys.
I don’t think either name is especially odd, just the combination of the two for brothers.
Made me hope that they didn’t have a sister named Cooker or Dishwasher.
Silly, her name was Barefoot Babymaker.
The Rohan I encountered was definitely not from India. His middle name was Italian, and his last name was as American as Smith or Jones. Plus he had a slight trace of an accent that I couldn’t place, but it sounded perhaps Caribbean. I googled him, and judging by his appearance, perhaps he is from somewhere in the Caribbean; he fit the look. Anyway, it was a really odd combination of names, but I had never heard Rohan as a first name before so it struck me as rather weird. YMMV, obviously.
One time I was in the post office and there were these two twin little boys (about 4 or 5) running around, hitting things, just being little assholes. Mom screams, “Cain. CAIN! CAIN!!! Pay attention! CAIN! STOP RUNNING! CAIN!!”
No way. There’s just no ever loving way, I thought and then. . .
“ABLE! CAIN! ABLE! CAIN AND ABLE! STOP IT RIGHT THIS MINUTE!”
There are a lot of Indians in the Caribbean, actually. He may have been mixed. Either way, it’s a perfectly legitimate, even boring, Indian name-like Robert. I’ve met white chicks with names like “Shanti” or “Padmananda” or “Lakshmi”-sometimes people just like foreign names (“Chandra” seems big, too). Doesn’t mean the names themselves are loopy. Lakshmi is the equivalent of being named Susan, over here.
If it were pronounced “Kee-ar-ah” in Italian it would have to be spelled “Chiara.” The “Ci” in Italian is a “Ch” sound, like in “Chuck.” Most Americans (and apparently Spaniards as well) don’t know that pronunciation rule in Italian. Thus, the hazard of picking names you think are exotic because they’re from a foreign language-- they often wind up spelled incorrectly.
Sindarin, maybe? 
Or, in turn for the primary school set, the Lemony Snicket character Esmé Squalor.
They should have named the second boy Gatherer.
There is a woman in the metro Detroit area who has been writing bad checks.
Her DL is posted on the wall at work with the warning of do not accept checks from:
Carmelisha (Lastname)
It is so awesome and makes me smile every time I see it.
May be the general rule but I had Italian coworkers named Ciara and they didn’t pronounce it Chiara… I would’a noticed, specially given the names the CH in my lastname was having at the time with Philly coworkers who insist in pronouncing it K.
Shirley, you must have been very bored! He calls himself “Ben” but he’s listed in our directories as Pink Dandelion.
Bah! Missed my edit window again. We recently lost the other one I mentioned, Prof Perri 6 to a rival institution. I bet they’re delighted to have him.
I went to school with a mentally handicapped girl named Crystal Logic.

Daphne Threat Medley (band name!)
Froma Harrop
Upendo Sisson
Prina Glassman
Gaynell Avery
Paul Snowball (an albino man, I kid you not)
Evangelist Torres
Wykeily D. Phillpots
Chiara de Assisi is usually spelled with the h - guess my coworker wanted to be exotic.
Love it!
A woman in my town is named “Marple Kluskey.”
I’m a native Utahn and have an aunt named “LaVisa” and an uncle named “LaVon.” They are 66 and 76 respectively and both white. As previous poster wrote, Mormons have a peculiar fondness for “La” names and combo-names.
