Alright, Carissa DOES kind of have a point, but she's got it wrong. Yes, people DO remember you if you've got a strange name. I know b/c I have one. However, if your name is not odd or highly uncommon but just a bastardized spelling of a fairly common name, people are simply going to think you are stupid. They'll remember you all right, and they'll remember you as "the chick with the dumb name" unless you manage to dispell this first impression.
I used to hate my name, but now I LOVE it b/c I can go by just my first name everywhere and there's nobody to confuse me with. Kind of like Cher, but way less famous and talented.
