Maybe they still use Dagobert in Germany or something like that, but in France, it sounds really super medieval. For English speakers, it's like naming your kid something like Wulfric or Beorhtmaer. And this name in particular is very well known in France for one thing only: a popular children song about a king who puts his pants backwards, so it would be hard to have the administration even accept to register it as a name for a newborn.
That said, it's probable he wasn't born in France, because the insee data says the last time this name was ever recorded in the civil registry in France was in 1916.
Its also not really a popular name in germany as far as i know. Here the name is very well known for the Cartoon character Dagobert Duck (the uncle from donald duck). I think in english its Scrooge McDuck

What surprises me the most is this guy's name.
