I live in Germany, and I have never seen the name "Frodo" used other than in the book LotR. "Bodo", a first name that does exist here, is the closest thing that occurs to me.
Further to Estelyn's point, "Frodo" and "Bilbo" are very similar to "Mungo", the common name of the saint who founded Glasgow.
