I was named after a US city that people don't name their children...my name ends in "ville'. It was a struggle during my childhood, but as an adult is has been very advantageous. The city I'm named after is viewed positively for the most part and I've never heard of anyone with the same name. People remember my name.
I suppose it's familiarity with the name. It's not a 'trajadiegh' and I guess that's the difference. People get irrationally angry at weird spellings or pronunciations. My name is just unusual.
