This is not exactly famous, but this name reminds me of the little piglet from the kid show Kipper the dog! I also associate it with a childhood stuffed elephant. To me it’s a very cute, sadly neglected name with a meaning that any boy would love to have!

The meaning is alright, but I hate this name, how can it fit anybody? I hate it as well as it is a surname. If you name your child old man, disgusting names like Arnold, Lee, etc, you are a horrible parent, mean and cruel!
