There are others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

I'm not giving my last name, but my friends try to piss me off by calling me camelsack which sounds nothing like my last name except for the first and last letter.

My name ends with an "all". But people are always misspelling it so it's "el" or"al". The first part of my last name also resembles the word "Land", which people commonly spell it as.

In real life, my last name is always mispronounced.
Schenk.

How hard is that? Shenk! Easy! But nope. People say Shnek, Sechenk, Senchku... Honestly...

In games, people call me Strum instead of Sturm. And people can't pronounce Sturmdolch anyways.

Everyone pronounces my last name of Buzard as Buzzerd every time it's someone new. It isn't even a question of if it'll happen, I ALWAYS need to tell someone explicitly that it isn't Buzzerd. I seriously had a friend for like 7 months who thought that was my name.

Surprisingly, many people have people screwed up my gamertag's pronunciation. I have been called "Offspring", "Oddworld", and even once "Offald"

My real last name is a nightmare to hear people attempt to pronounce. (13 letters, and 5 syllables long.) Considering my greek descent, this really doesn't surprise me, and I consider myself lucky for having a first name that no one has mispronounced.

My last name is Doucette...as in doo-SET. People seem to want to stick an H in there, like "douche-ette." I detest those people.

Worst part? It's not like my last name is that uncommon, at least outside the Northeast where I grew up! There were four Doucettes in my high school homeroom (myself, Dianne, Eugene, and Kristy), and none of us were related in any way by blood or marriage to any of the other three!

IRL my second name is Paton, but everyone pronounces it pat-ton (with a consonant A), when you're supposed to pronounce it Pay-ton (with a capital A).

I also end up having people misprnounce fogold too, pronouncing it Fow-gold, when your supposed to pronounce it Fog-old.

And, for some strange reason, someone once said: Murtlington.

and Cuneo is constantly misspelled in the mail

Queneeo (pronounced by gym teachers)
Cungo
and all other kinds I can't remember right now

I have one of the most common (first)names in Finland, Niko, but it's also spelled Nico, both are right in one way but here's some history for you who don't know this.
Finland is a bilingual country which means we have two mothertongues according to law, finnish and swedish. The K in the name Niko is often for those whose main language is Finnish while C is for the swedish (not always, just a thumbrule you can go according to). Here's the problem, Finland is mainly split in two parts, the finnish and the swedish "sides", but I am lucky since I speak both languages equally 'cause my moms mothertongue is swedish while my father's finnish. Well they decided that my father would pick the name of their firstborn (me) and that's why my name is with a K. But the reason everyone spells it wrong is because we live in the swedish parts of Finland. It's no big deal but I have just started to get pissed when people spell it wrong because my name is a pretty big part of me ^^. No one sais it wrong thou...

My name in real life can't really be mispronounced ("Dennis" is pretty damn easy to say in any language). As for my screenname... hell, I haven't a fuck to give. Butcher away!

On Xbox live, I made the mistake of having my name Dfskelly instead of dfskelleton, and people usually say DFS Kelly. I'm paying for my idiotness.
Also, people pronounce my last name as France instead of Frantz. I've threatened to name my first daughter Paris if it freaking happens again.
