Does the name Vagn sound funny to Swedish people?

I have studied Swedish and can still speak and read it somewhat. My understanding was that the word 'vagn' in Swedish meant 'wagon' or 'train car.' Does the name Vagn sound funny to Swedes?

Also, I know the Scandinavian countries have a lot of names in common use, but are there names that sound typically Swedish to Danes and vice versa?
