I prefer to not let assholes influence my choices. Besides, a different name would not stop the bullies from being bullies. Perhaps they would pick on someone else, but I don't see that as much better. Better to deal with the bullies directly rather than trying to work around them, even if that seems harder at first.
A very courageous stance when somebody else bears the consequences.
