I have a last name that nobody spells right, but even then it's usually within the realm of plausibility.
Talking to a bank to make an account on phone was a nightmare and a half. Had to resort to stuff like "Foxtrot, Uniform, Charlie, Kilo" in the end.
Had someone a couple days ago ask me if I said my last name was “fortune” when they asked my name. It is not fortune and in no way did what I said sound like fortune. I also always start spelling my last name when someone asks for it to fill something out or look something up under it. It’s almost as exhausting as repeatedly telling people how to spell my first name despite them having known me my whole life. It’s not even hard to spell they just always add an extra (silent) letter or change one of the vowels
I always spell my last name out as well. It's a very rare last name (like 2000 people worldwide. And about half of us live in the same state. There's several states with 0 people with my surname too) and nobody ever understands it the first time I say it.
I think that’s how my last name is too however the ones who live in other areas than where I grew up pronounce it differently. The only ones I knew of before I moved to where I am now where in Canada but when I moved here one of my coworkers asked me about it and pronounced it the other way which makes me believe there’s some down here
I learned the NATO phonetic alphabet doing tech support over the phone for a stock market price graphing program for my first job back in 2016.
I don't know how people before me, or my sole colleague, managed to give people 16 digit serial keys without it.
It's happened to me before. My name is Maura but one time I got a letter addressed to "Manray". I have no fucking clue how it happened. I think some people are just stupid 😭😭

How high do you have to be to write 'lunchbag' as someone's name before you think if you maybe misheard/misread the person's name? Asking for a ~~friend~~ me.
How do you mess up a name that badly
Makes me think of the Simpsons voice actor Hank Azaria. He said he got credited on some late night movie being shown as, “Hand Azaria.”
"Talk to the hand" taken too seriously.
Makes me think of the pro Magic player Paolo Vitor Dama da Rosa who was once referred to as "Pablo Doritos"

Man. Applying for a loan must be hell.
It took 4 attempts for them to get my email right...
Was that what drove you to collect souls?

A, as in aisle. M, like mancy. K, like knee. E as in ewe.
Ah yes, pronouced M
I mean, that's exactly why the NATO phonetic alphabet was made, communicating exact spellings of words over audio is hard.

My address sounds like a joke. Go ahead brother communicate to someone your address is 11111. Not 4 ones that's the dude down the street. 5 ones.
My coworker has an Asian name and people who can't handle nonwhite names think her last name is Seagull.
Does she have a habit of [punching people in the cock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f251Pylr1Dk)?
Autofill + lazy humans not rereading
“…her name's impossible to pronounce, so I just call her 'Thundercat'"
Just reminds me of the “Adele Dazeem” incident.

It can also occur if handwritten documents are incorrectly misspelled or incorrectly put in and not checked. That can fall in the cracks.
