When I was recently involved with hiriing at my firm, we talked to a variety of people, and there were some whose names were discussed b/c we didnt know how to pronouce them. Some people really do their kids a disservice by giving them a name that no one can say right. We also had a kid that was from the Check republic, and no one could say his name right. In the end we hired 4 different people, it was kind of like the UN. But, after all that rambling, my point was - we did consider people's names. It was not the only factor, but a unique name catches people's attention, for better or worse.
