I have a fairly common name, but when I was a child, it wasn't that common. I was the only one with that name in my entire school, even though my name has been around for 100's of years.
When I was around 10 the big thing was key chains with your name on it. There was a store in the mall that sold named key chains, mugs, shirts, anything you could think of. My name was never included. My mom actually went and bought a shirt and had my name put on it, just so that I could have something with my name on it.
Everyone wants their child to have a unique name, but for the child, it's really hard when it's never spelled right, pronounced right, and you can't even get a keychain with your name on it, all because your parents want you to have an original name. Original isn't always good, not when you're the one stuck with it.
I have a very common name, and most people still pronounce it wrong. The name you posted is not a name that's known, will be mispronounced all the time, and will lead to teasing.
Stick with something that won't make your child change names when he/she is older.
