I don't se how anyone could not have any emotional attachment" to their name. I mean, you've been called by that name literally since before you could remember, so how could you not identify as that name? It's quite possible to dislike your name, but people are rarely able to just slip out of or into identities with no adjustment.
So no, I wouldn't change my name for those reasons alone. Maybe if I didn't like my name, but I'd have to really hate it pretty bad to want to go through the hassle of changing it and adjusting to it and getting everyone else to adjust to it. I doubt it would ever be worth it.
