I had a strange name for about 15 years before it suddenly caught on and became insanely popular.
I had no problems with having a 'strange' name, no problems with learning to spell it or spelling it for people, no problems with explaining it and not one of my peers thought it strange because they were children and just accepted it - same as I accepted the names that I have in my adulthood come to realise are very uncommon.
Not only did I not struggle with my name I was quite fond of it.

One person's strange name is another person's ordinary name. The most popular name in the world is Muhamed (and its variations) yet only one member of this forum that I know of has a Muhamed.
