Yes, but to me and most people it's just another name that has no meaning. I don't know any off the top of my head, but there are many names with no meaning. Although my name has a history, it's meaning has mostly been lost, so i put it in the same category as the many completely meaningless names out there. So, do they all qualify as nonsense?

Well, my name is Danny, and that to me has no meaning. Does this qualify as a "nonsense" name? I'm just asking to make sure we're talking about the same thing.
I would say it's not a nonsense name. While "Danny" itself may have no meaning, at least to you, it is part of a large network of associations. It's the usual nickname for "Daniel", which has a long and Biblical history. It's not a made-up name, like the one I suggested.
