An Earl or Jarl was an Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian title, meaning chieftain and it referred especially to chieftains set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages, whereas, in Britain, it became synonymous with the continental count.
Today, an earl is a member of the British peerage and ranks below a Marquess and above a Viscount. A British Earl equates in rank to a continental Count. The wife of an Earl bears the rank of Countess.

Get your friends to help you by coming up with a cool nickname - have them yell it to you down the hall a couple of times. If it fits you and it's cool enough, other people will start using it.
Also, ignore people completely if they call you something you don't like. If it's not "fun" for them eventually they'll stop.
Good luck --- some kids can suck, but sooner or later they all grow out of it.

come up with a funny response or two and laugh with them (maybe you'll become an actor, and have them to thank when you're accepting your emmy or oscar) like you think it's funny, too - - they're only having fun because they know you don't like it - - if you don't get upset anymore, they'll go on to bother someone else

What is your middle name? Maybe you could start using that. Try not to be so sensitive, I know it is tough. Kids can be mean. I like your name just fine.

You need a nickname. WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOUR PARENTS TOURCHER YOU WITH GIVING YOU THAT NAME?
Don't worry when you get older you can change your name.
Good Luck.
