I believe Fulgencio, as a first name, is rare these days because it's just too antiquated.

Rather like naming a baby boy 'Aloysius' here in the U.S. : the other kids would probably snicker.

Coincidentally in Argentina, there was a popular cartoon character in the '50s called Fulgencio - a rather infantile, though good-natured, middle-aged man. His wife, the corpulent Tremebunda, called the shots.

A life-sized Fulgencio, in Buenos Aires' cartoon promenade. He was said to have "missed out on childhood."
