Rod

My name is Rod and I was actually named after Rod Sterling.
My mother was a fan of his pre-Twilight Zone work, but a
coincidence, for me, is that the premiere of The Twilight Zone
Was actually on my 1st birthday.

Let's keep this as a nickname, I can't imagine someone telling me their name is Rod. (No hate to any Rods reading this).

Too short and boring. Not good as a legal name. The first thing that pops into my head is the hideous singer Rod Stewart.
