I was named Roland because it exists in both Romanian (my mother's family) and Hungarian (dad's family). It's not pronounced exactly the same (the a is different), but it's easy enough for all grandparents. And I even learned both languages, much to the relief of my grandparents.
But I was almost named Julian, because my dad had the idea for Roland only when checking me out from maternity.
