Maybe, but I'd have to know enough about the culture of the name's origin to have some idea what the associations were with the name for those people (it could be the name of a locally famous murderer, or it could sound extremely religious, etc), and I'd have to be comfortable pronouncing it correctly, and it couldn't be an exotic form of a name that is common in English (seems too shallow, like treating foreignness as a fashion accessory). I'd need to go on more familiarity with it, than just having seen the name around on someone, or having found it in a database.
