I also chose to use DHs last name…it’s very simple really, but very often gets spelled incorrectly. As does my first name.
When I went to apply for SS, I realized my first name was spelled incorrectly on my SS card. Let’s just say….I know how to spell my name so that wasn’t my mistake. But it was something that needed to be fixed!
Because I couldn’t change my birth name, I got creative with how to spell my nickname. In junior high, I tried several versions that amused my teachers but, by eighth grade, I landed on the spelling I use now. However, I always have to correct anyone trying to write or enter it so maybe not so much of a win.
My #(&##$%)(* BIL still misspells my first name, and DH and I have been married for 40 years! BIL has an uncommon first name that is easily misspelled. I have occasionally thought about purposely misspelling his name to him to make a point, but I never have. My email and other places have my name correctly spelled. It wouldn’t be hard for him to take 2 seconds to confirm the correct spelling (he has been corrected several times). He doesn’t care.
Much to the chagrin of my feminist friends, I gladly traded my unpronounceable maiden name for my H’s super easy peasy anglo one.
My maiden name was a real hard to spell and hard to pronounce clunker. Happy to take DH’s much easier last name. It still gets occasionally misspelled but it’s still an easy name. Now if only my (*&^$(#& BIL would stop misspelling my first name (he commonly uses 2 alternative misspellings).
I’ve often told DH that I married him for his easy last name and his hair. Things were simpler then.
John is the name of choice in my family. They are known in the family as John+middle name. None of the kids in my generation named a child John, and so far none in the next generation have. It’s kind of sad, but I get it - I am guilty.
This was the case in my mom’s family. There were 7 first cousins with the identical first and middle names (after a great grandmother)! The oldest went by both names (think something like Mary Ellen), the next went by Mary, the third Ellen, and the last 4 by some nickname - Emmie, Em, etc… Super confusing when the older generation wanted to use the given name and no one, including their own child, knew who they were referring to.
PS. My mom was #3 so always used her middle name. Long time family friends were shocked when she passed that it wasn’t her actual name.
My maiden name is ethnic, and difficult for people to know how to pronounce. Growing up, I was embarrased by my immigrant father with his thick accent. Thankfully, by the time I was 28 and getting married, I had become very proud of my ancestry. So I kept my difficult last name, and didn’t take DH’s 4 letter anglo saxon name.
That said, I am not at all sensitive about people misspelling or mispronouncing my name. And because of that I expect others to not care a lot about misspellings etc either.
What annoys me is when people have my name in writing but they misspell it when they respond to me.
Or when I complete some application or info sheet, and the person doing the data entry just changes the spelling of my name (like what happened with SS…I’m quite sure I never spelled my own name wrong).
This!
The mispronunciation is one thing (my name has a letter in the middle that folks believe is silent), but why you would change the spelling in an email response is beyond me.
Funny the things that set us off -or apart - on names.
A running joke in our family is that I get mad when people don’t capitalize the third letter in our last name - like they spell McDonald’s as Mcdonald’s. 
I don’t worry about name spellings unless it’s an important document. Some people aren’t the best spellers, oh well.
What was important to me was to give my kids names that would be their actual name (unless I guess an unrelated nickname came into play) So for instance if I want him called Mike then I name him that - not Michael. Once they are old enough for their own opinion they can go for what they want!
It’s funny, we purposely chose names for our boys that didn’t have nicknames. But my grandmother’s name WAS a nickname - we wanted to call our daughter that, but I also thought it was important to give her a formal name. I noticed she uses the formal name for her photography business.
I had a five letter Czech last name that was forever mispronounced. Traded it for a name that is a popular toy. Now I get asked about royalties. 
We gave our kids short first names as our last name is very long. I have a long first name and had a very short, unique maiden name which I gave up. So now I have a long first, long last.
Some people detect that a call center may be in another country because the call center person with the “American” accent pronounces their name (of ethnic origin common in that country) correctly, when people in the US (not of that ethnic origin) typically pronounce it incorrectly at first.
Slinky. Frisbee. Twister. BopIt. My mind is having fun imagining the possibilities!
My girls both have names that are uncommon, but not unusual. Simple, two syllable names with straightforward, phonetic spellings. Yet, there are still plenty of people who mispronounce them or misspell them. Our last name is pretty simple, yet people often transpose two of the letters and turn it into a different name altogether. You really just can’t win, I think.
I have a short name so we gave both of our kids (very traditional) longer names. They both go by nicknames, but do use their full names at work.
I have mentioned before that I wished I had kept my unusual Italian last name when I married. It’s now my middle name. I took H’s short, phonetically pronounced name and people still misspell/mispronounce it.
