It's... okay, but the meaning makes it rather creepy.

I had no idea this was a real name, I thought JK Rowling made it up. How quirky and fun!

I just met a red-haired, blue-eyed puppy named Mungo Jerry (called Mungo), and thought it was a brilliant name for a dog. I didn't know about the band till I read Nameberry's Mungo entry!
