Do people usually have to ask how her name is pronounced or spelt?

Expecting DD in 4 weeks time and it's the favourite name on our list for both me and DH, but with it being more unusual (certainly round here anyway, as never come across one) and the potential for uncertainty over spelling and pronunciation I'm wondering if we're better to go with one of our other names.

I think it looks lovely written down but I do think it will continually be misheard as "Merry"...or even "Deryn"
