I’m sure this is an offbeat topic but I haven’t heard anyone really talk about it and I think there’s more to the story here. Does having a unique and interesting sounding name count for anything as you progress in career?

Probably not, unless it's related to a country or culture and then you can bond with a client/colleague over your shared roots
Depends on the country of origin. People may find long European names to be exotic or interesting but I can guarantee you vast majority of people don't like long/unique Asian names.
As an aside, my mother had worked as a teacher in our inner-city at one of the most troubled schools (a la Hilary Swank in Freedom Writers). She had a student named "Shi'Ted" (i.e. Shit Head). Presumably, the parents were not enthusiastic about the birth and decided on that name.
To your point, I don't think we're going to be hearing Shi'Ted opening due diligence calls on M&As.
