This has been alluded to above, but please don't allow the parents instinct to be different name a kid something that is going to be a problem for the child due to all listed above.
Remember, it's the kid who has to live with it through school and for the rest of her/his life.
Don't saddle the child with your ego.
With so many "different" names and permutations thereof these days, I'd be tempted to name a baby John or Mary or something like that. There aren't that many of those anymore.
