That's true, odd names always cause a problem.

Viggo Mortenson?

Hayden Panettiere?

Leonardo DiCaprio?

Shia LeBouf?

Emilio Estevez?

Sigourney Weaver?

I'm sure you know none of those fairly odd, sometimes obscurely pronounced names because they are all utter failures shunned by the industry.

Or you're an idiot.

I'd give the same advice to Chiwetel Ejiofor if he wasn't busy collecting awards.

Yeah because only people with catchy stage names become famous. Just ask Joaquin Phoenix, Emilio Estevez, etc etc.

Of course there are exceptions. It's just much easier to become a house hold name with a simpler name that most people can pronounce.
