Should I change my legal name from Sevyn to a more “normal” name?

Im 18 years old and my name is Sevyn, pronounced like the number. I’ve always noticed snarky comments from peers about it when I was in education but now that I’m an adult and will start working soon I’m wondering if it’s worth changing my name to avoid these types of comments from coworkers? Or even to be taken more seriously by potential employers. I present quite alternative already so I can understand how I could be viewed. What would you personally think if you met a young lady named Sevyn? Would you think anything at all?
