I myself have a name so rare I couldn't share it without uniquely identifying myself (I am not aware of anyone else having it as a first name, although a minor historical figure has it as a last name). The spelling also does not quite match the expected pronunciation. Yes, it stands out a bit, I get "wow that's an unusual name where does it come from" every single time, but I like my name a lot, and I of all the things I was bullied about, my name was about the most minor.
Admittedly I'm glad not to be called "Gastritis". I don't think I would be too upset at "Crazy Horse", except that it sounds like a name you should receive at a coming-of-age ceremony, Native American style. I might go by a nickname usually, but insist my lovers use my full name in the bedroom.
