I reckon that it has nothing to do with his name (or ethnicity). It is his personality, public comments, behaviour, occasional lack of effort and waste of talent that turns me off and I suspect that applies to many tennis fans, not just Aussies.
Ash Barty enjoys great support because she always has a crack and conducts herself with dignity and good humour. Her Indigenous heritage is not a factor.
Alex de Minaur lacks Kyrgios's talent but also enjoys great support because he gives 100%.
However, I would support Kyrgios if his name was "Clark", but not "Clarke"; the E is an important factor
