Well, if she's gonna get bullied, the bullies are going to find a reason to bully her anyway. As for mental development, I don't see what it has to do with anything. My name is unusual for where I'm from, but my mental development is fine.
You could make the name a reverse insult.

Well here in the UK (or at least England) you can change your name legally when you get to 18 for the mere price of 30 pounds. You have to fill in a really simple form. In the news a while ago it was being reported that many more people were changing their names because it was less complicated than it had been before. Parents could then name their kids something like 'Sarah' which is rather normal. Then when Sarah is 18 if she wants a different name she can become 'Duchess tictac of awesome' should she so choose. Having a name like 'Popsicle' does kind of make a child a target for bullying considering schoolkids natural reaction is different=bad.
