I work with a few folks with all of the above names, but they were all born in the middle east ... that may be the reason as a lot of the suggestions have been from North Americans. I had thought of some simple 'power' names when we were expecting our first born. But they were all shot down by my dearest. Adolf was a non-starter. Attila, while fairly common, was decidedly outside of our cultural milieu, as was Temujin.
Ended up with a very close race between Eric and Wolfgang. Since my cousin's name is Wolfgang, we went with Eric. My second son's name is Cameron. He thinks it's cool.
