I don't know about that.
A friend of mine grew up with a very unique name and took some amount of ribbing for it during her childhood. Even adults say dumb things about it to her still. This person has a kid of her own now and gave the child an even "crazier" name than she was given, and she knows as well as anyone what it's like.
My own name is synonymous with toilets and prostitute customers and it is probably one of the most common names in the English speaking world, though I think it's fallen out of favour.
