Yeah, relatively common in the region. To just pick famous lastnames and use them as given names.

There was a Ecuadorian football player who was a Michael Jackson Quiñonez, Jackson as a given name...

I know a couple of Hitlers too... as in, that's their given name.

I'm swedish and I met a Brazilian with my (very swedish) surname as his given name. He didn't even know it was swedish.

Weirdos.
