I'm an elementary school teacher who have had students with a huge variety of names. I would say that, for the kid's sake, go with a name that won't draw attention to him/her on a personal level. I love kids, but they will latch on to anything "different" about another kid. Then they turn into a group of piranhas zeroing in for the kill. To subject your child to this is no damn fair. Believe me, your kid just wants to fit in with the others. For God's sake if you love the name so much then replace your own damn name with it.
