I always wanted to change my name when I was little, even tho it's a regular name Christy...I think kids will always hate their name, or get picked on for whatever reason...my last name is Arehart (say air-heart) and I got "air-head" and "air-fart"...sometimes parents can't avoid these things...how about more "Mike"s and "John"s??? I certainly don't see enough of those.!!!
With a cool, individual name, people will remember you!
