It's hard to recover from a really dorky name. Consider changing your to Chad Thundercock.

So do I. It's considered foreign. But I say it with confidence. And that's what commands respect. For all anyone cares, you could be called Gaylord Fucker. Respect is earned, not given.

As a caveat: nicknames.

If you think the only thing holding you back is your name, then there's a lot more you need to change.

I have a kick ass rare/well-known name and my friend "Anderson" is considered to have a similarly unique and interesting name. I've burned through a dozen women before he hooked up with one.

You tell me what's important. If you met a really attractive, fit, considerate girl with the ugly grandma name "Gertrude" or "Helga", are you telling me that you wouldn't show her off to your friends/family after plowing her? Sure it doesn't come off as smooth as Jessica, but what do you care?

Girl's aren't the same as guys, but at least with a stupid name if your SMV is high enough, they seriously couldn't care about your name. The apocalypse opener is like a pick-up technique that specifically involves NOT exchanging names, and the fact that it's successful for high value men shows that women don't care.

Own Your name man, you have it for a reason. This is a form thing, not a substance problem. Man up and honor Your gramps. Name Your child after you. Chicks tend to remember weird names , as anyone else. Make them associate it with a real man and a nice memory

Consider the name Albus Magicbottom.

Make it your middle name and get an Americanized version of it. If theres something about yourself you dont like, change it.

Use your middle name or go by a nicname
