Unusual names

[Bibiboo]

I'm thinking of some unusual names for baby and can't decide whether it would be a blessing (being individual) or a curse (forever having to repeat it/spell it)? Any advice/experience y ou gals can give me?

My name is Welsh so isn't all that common outside Wales, but there were 3 of us in my class at Secondary school and we were referred to as name B, nameT and nameL (or Brown, Thomas and Lloyd) which wasn't all that nice.

My name is unusual and I love it. It always makes an easy opener for conversations when I'm introduced to people, and people remember me because of my name.
The downsides: I'm constantly spelling it out over the phone and I can never find personalised mugs/room signs etc.
