Thanks for giving your honest opinion ;)

I just think it's not as dramatic. We had kids with really weird names at our school (Agnetha, Agatha, Ceridwen, Xena, Frithjof, Omar (this is ideal for teasing because it sounds like the German word for grandmother, and he was a boy). These kids were never ever teased. The ones who were teased were kids that were quiet, shy or very different, regardless their name. The one who go teased the most was named Raphael followed by Eva. Ordinary names, yet they were teased and not accepted.

I think it has something to do with self confidence, not with a celebrity status. I have seen children with weird names never getting teased and children with ordinary names getting teased, just because of their character. And you can make a funny rhyme out of any name (Stephanie - step on me) etc.

I just think it doesn't matter. She could go by Tallie or Lula. It's a name that comes with approachable, cute nicknames.
