You know, Discordia doesn't sound too bad when you go phonetically, but you can't really escape the (associated) meaning... much like with Candida (which is an existing name).
But then again, having been in plenty of pregnancy communities when pregnant with Dashiell, I know that there are plenty of people who really don't give much thought to the names they choose other than that they like them personally, or find the spelling really "youneek".
When I pointed out that their kid might get picked on, she said she was planning on homeschooling, as though that really made my point moot. She'll still be judged on her name at some point... if not a school playground then somewhere else.
