When MIL found out that DD2 was named Harper, the first thing out of her mouth was "oh dear, well make sure no one calls her Harpie" Which of course DD1 pipes up and says "Harpie is my sister, I love Harpie"
MIL was horrified, but at the time DD1 couldnt say her name in whole, but could call her harpie. In the end we said we didnt care if she was called that or not, it was amazing to hear DD1 talk about ,talk to and just adore her sister, and thats what mattered the most. (another reason why we never tell people our name choices before bubs is born)
By the way, almost 2yrs later, one of DD2's nicknames is Harpie.
(and to make matter sorse still, one of DD2's middle names is scarlett too )
We both really love Scarlett but DP's issue with the name is he thinks Scarlett Johanson is uber hot and he doesn't want to think of his daughter like that
I'm not really worried about her getting teased, i think with any name there is potential for name calling.
