How do you feel about first-name middle-name combinations where the names are from pretty different cultures or countries of origin and it's very obvious? Do you think they seem 'mismatched'? Does it change your opinion if the names are popular in your country, as opposed to obscure?

For example, I really like the name Dietrich Andrei, but I wonder whether the combination of German and Russian names that are pretty uncommon in the US isn't a little mismatched.

Do you like any combinations of names like this? Can you think of some instances where it works pretty well, or some where it doesn't?

I'd worry less about the middle name and more about the last name! we have a pretty obviously irish last name, and I named my son Dietrich!
