Djuna?

I like the name Djuna (for a girl, after writer Djuna Barnes, sounds like 'joona'), but am wondering about using it because we have a difficult surname (no one knows how to pronounce, etc) Do you think people will guess how to say it, or have heard it before? It's not unheard of as a name in the US (Barnes was American), but I haven't heard it here before...

Um.. I don't think I would use it. There was a thread recently about Django I think which would have the same pronunciation issues.
