Should I change my name? Help me decide.

For a few years now, I've been contemplating changing my name. Or at least adding a middle name that I can use as my last name outside of Norway. Why? My last name is virtually unpronounceable in any language except Norwegian and maybe Swedish. Try to pronounce it yourself: K j e m p e r u d. I bet that if you're from any other country than Norway or Sweden, you have no idea how to even approach that....
