To be fair, I have a ~fairly common name (not gonna out myself but most people know a couple of people with my name). And my name has very rarely been spelled right by the government, employers, schools, various offices, banks, or friends. My spelling is the common spelling, I don't pronounce it weird, yet I always have to get my first paychecks fixed at a new job, have to go back to offices to get spelling corrected (when it matters), and correct friends repeatedly until it sticks.
Just in the last month I had to go to my states department of health to amend my vaccination records from my childhood because my record submissions for a job got rejected . Then I had to go back to the place that I got my flu shot from for the same reason. You can do everything right and still get screwed by inattentive bureaucrats. Your point still stands though. Don't name your kids dumb shit people
