Not a trendy name

Back in the 1960's, actress Jean Willis was a familiar face on television (see below), although very few would remember her name. She was married to Gerard Finley Cowhig, who played in the NFL for five seasons. I know nothing about him, except that he had what might be called the anti-trendy name. Certainly an honorable name, but it is of the sort that usually spawned some sort of nickname very quickly.
