This is the name I chose for my son. Upon first hearing it, many people express dismay and confusion, but once people get used to it, they really seem to like it. In Poland, Urban is a surname. It is sentiment of many in my culture (Highlanders of Poland's Tatra Mountains) that this name is often used to describe someone with big ears.

This is a ridiculous name. Rednecks come to mind, actually. The name sounds asinine in any language, not just English.

This name makes me think of metrosexuals -- and that's not a bad thing.

In my opinion, this is an extremely strange and unusual name, in English at least, anyway. :/
