It is a stigma he as to wear. I don't see him much, but find it difficult to call him by his Christian name. If I were him, I'd change it by deed poll, but he might feel that is insulting to his parents. I wouldn't view his name as a stigma.
After all, the problem isn't his name, it's the attitude of other people to it.
I think it's uncommon and slightly unusual, but that's all. Nothing to get worked up over.
I think that because it is attributed to a male, it would be more of a stigma like you mentioned. Its just a name though, but yes, attitudes can be dividing.
I am not sure which country he is from, somewhere African I would say, and there, it may not even be seen as a big deal either. That my rude colleague even started to make a deal of it, even to his face, and this was from a female, it did get me thinking. I even mentioned it to her about her commenting on it being inappropriate.
