It is kind of like naming your daughter "Eureka!", yet I rather like it -- better than Tiffany or Stephanie, anyway.

If you are choosing to name your child Epiphany, I would strongly encourage that. This name sounds really smart and well grounded. Although it may sound "funny" to some people (and I can't imagine why) this is an incredible name. It has a nice ring to it. Very nice.
Epiphany is just stupid and pathetic as a given name. It will lead to a lot of bad jokes. It also reminds me of the hideous name Tiffany. There is a similar-sounding Spanish name, Epifania, which means the same thing as Epiphany. Why not go for that instead?
The first time I heard it was the name of audience member on a talk show and it led to the host making a few sex jokes. It was introduced and ruined in one fell swoop. Nicknames are Phany/Fanny comes with it's own batch of problems and Eppie which I guess I kinda like.
