Some years back, I was at the post office , waiting in line to mail a package. In front of me was a woman in her 70s with a cell phone. She was not happy. Apparently she was trying to get an appointment of some sort.
"My name is Lesvia..." She listened to the person on the other end. She got even angrier. "That's L...e...s...V...i...a. With a V."
Good lord! I can just imagine the taunting this woman must have gotten over the years.

When I was at High School we had a teacher, an American btw, a rarity in the Aussie Education system at that time, who insisted upon calling the Roll using the last name first.
He took the best part of 2 months to actually work out for himself WHY we all cracked up laughing when he got to the letter 'F' and called out the name, Forner, Kate.
