As the world becomes more interconnected people will need to accept that names will vary widely.
BTW my SO was a teacher in an area that had very creative and diverse names. She thought it was great. And certainly easier than a classroom with four 'Brian's.

Interconnected? This is not a case where somebody turns up from Bihar or Ukraine and brings a long and unfamiliar name to the class full of Annes and Johns. "Titan" goes back to Greek mythology, "Invictus" to Latin. The best thing I can say about the names is that a girl's classmates are less likely to think "'invictus' = unconquered? Let's test that hypothesis out back."
People are also unlikely to change their name, firstly since it's their name that they've had for years before being old enough to realise that people think it sounds stupid, and secondly because they worry about hurting their parents' feelings.
