However if I had had a choice I would never have chosen my own name, I was constantly teased as a kid and am always having to spell it out for people.

Me too, and then I married someone with an unusual last name and have to spell both to people now. Although I didn't like my name when younger I do like it now, even though most people don't say or spell it correctly (I gave up about 15 years ago bothering to correct people).
We didn't tell anyone the name we had in mind until he was born, people are less likely to make negative comments that way, plus is nice to keep somethings to yourselves, you sometimes feel like public property when pregnant.
Oh by the way my name is Marisa
