I think it depends on the family name. I always find it odd when the first name and the family name don't run well together, like when someone has a Spanish or Italian sounding first name and an English family name. For example, if I met a guy named, "Pedro Smith" I would doubt his existence until I met him.

How about Gustav? Gus is kind of a funny/cute name for a kid and then Gustav sounds pretty good as a formal "adult" name, if a little heavy on the grandeur.
