Well, I would like to mention that Star Wars is very pop culture and most people have atleast heard of Star Wars if not seen a few or all of the movies. Personally, I don't know anyone that doesn't know that Anakin was part of Star Wars and most people know that he eventually turns into the villian of the series. I still love the name Anakin mind you, but I definately think there will be teasing potential for a very long time. Not only do people who grew up in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and today know what Star Wars is, it was such a big thing that I think people in the future will know Star Wars as well. I think most Star Wars names are off limits if you want a "normal" or "non-teasable" name.
I do remember hearing that Anakin is a legitimate name in some Norse or Scandinavian areas but I can't find where I found that at the moment. I like it for that reason, but I would never use it.
