No, we don't have anything that means exactly the same thing, so it would have to be Robert again! Sorry! There are names that mean 'bright' and 'fame', but I haven't heard them combined!

How extremely bizarre (the Waldo one)! I haven't heard about this film, it looks scary. But the title reminded me of this song, Apokalipso - I love it! Here's the recording from Exit festival:
