I think my married name is one of the hardest names for people to pronounce since it's made up to try and fit a more "American" ideal. My father-in-law came over from Greece and changed his name from a Tz letter combination to a Dj letter combination thinking that people would be able to pronounce it better. Epic Fail! He should have just kept the original spelling...now it just looks made up!
My maiden name is actually no better. Fried. It's pronounced Freed not fried. Maybe people could figure that out if they'd left the "e" at the end like it was originally. Friede would probably make people think twice.
