Don't overthink it. Many adopt English names just simply based on popularity. Names like Jennifer or Christopher are very sophisticated to them.

Also - there are plenty of stupid names out there. So don't be surprised if you meet with Obama, maybe even Latte.
Do you know someone called Latte? So do I.
