I think as a kid they would probably cause issue. As a teen/adult they probably just start some good friendly conversation and help people remember you.
I can tell you from personal experience that this is 100% spot on. In Elementery school and early Jr. High, I got in a bunch of fist fights over my name.By the time I hit High School and College, it was a novelty and great fun at parties! My given name is Michael Hunt, but everyone calls me Mike. Just to let you know, you were the artist to shirts that go made every year for our football game with our rival. The shirts naturally were sold off campus.

Worked for nearly a decade with a Richard Dick. He got teased a LOT in school... "Dick Dick" "Rich Dick" etc., so he began going exclusively by his initials R.L. Dick. Wouldn't tell anyone that R stood for Richard. Was 6 or 7 years of working with him before I heard his Mom call him Richard and the cat was out of the bag. His go to line if anyone asked what RL stood for was "Real Long".

40 something years ago I had a friend named Andy Dick. His dad was named Richard, and was a Urologist. He introduced himself to me as Dick Dick the dick doc. He loved doing that to see what people would do

Worked with a guy from Danville WV named Stuart Pid. And yes, he preferred to be called Stu. Another guy was Harold Fish and went by Harry.

When I was in Limpopo I was in camp with about 4 other funeral directors. When they found out we were from San Antonio they asked if I had ever heard of Mr. Tips. I told him you never forget a guy by the name of Dick Tips. I bet Mission Park buries about 1/2 or more of the city. I bet he could play his name into all kinds of creative ad campaigns.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
