I believe this was also Shakespeare's son's name, but tragically, he passed away at a pretty young age. I wonder if the Hamlet similarity made the name less popular? I mean, Hamlet isn't necessarily the happiest of stories. Or perhaps it's the ham + net thing that just makes it hard to use!

I don't think the "ham" itself is off-putting, as Hamilton is still usable, and I think Hamlet would be a cute middle name choice.
