Yes, I think it is very, very odd. Especially since I'm German and Schröder is such a common surname and we never use surnames as first names. I couldn't see it as one.

Here (in the NL) we have a law that you can't use common LNs as FNs (so Jansen is out of the question, but a LN often used as a FN like Thomas is fine), don't you guys have a similar law as well?

There is no law that I'm aware of in the United States (where I live and most likely would be raising any kids I may have) about naming a child with a common last name. We have many many children named Madison, Taylor, Logan, etc. (which are all common last names in the states) running around so I don't see what's really wrong with having a Schroeder in a classroom...and I'm not considering it because it's a "trendy last name"...I just like the peanuts piano playing connection.

Yes, we do. I think we even have somewhat stricters laws than Holland. Schröder could never go through as a first name, fortunately.
