I'm pretty sure that pretty much no matter what your name is someone will figure out a way to make fun of it.
Being named Alex at the height of Family Ties popularity got me my fair share. And in the absence of that there was Alex Trebek to play off of.
The key isn't to avoid names simply because teasing can be imagined (though some names more explicitly invite it) it is to train your kids to not get upset by it. (Or get genetically lucky, as my parents did, and produce a child who was just always oblivious enough to not care about getting teased for whatever reason.)
