Most of the time I can rework a name I don't enjoy into something different. Like in Amanda Quick's books, her h just about all have unusual and strange names that I can rearrange to make a nickname or something and they are historical so I take that into account. However. I was looking at this series by Abbi Glines - Sweet Little Memories in particular and the h's name is Beulah. I can't. I'm sorry if that is your name or if you like it but no. Not for me.
Another would be Stella Cameron. Her names are off the wall. For example Cypress Nights the H is Roche (which I HAVE to pronounce roach. Yummy.) and the h is Bleu Labeau. Too off the wall for me. This only applies to contemps tho. I don't expect to meet someone younger than me in 2017 named Gertrude, lets say. But historical ok. Paranormal has nothing normal so why not mess with the names.
My kids have unusual names so I don't run into them very often if ever, so I have no business throwing stones at names but sometimes it just is too much.
