Then we have foreign names in languages that don't use our alphabet. Who the heck translates them to English, anyway? Why can't they spell them phonetically? Many are impossible to sound out to pronounce them right.
I used to know a Laotian woman who's name was pronounced Pat. Nothing hard about that, but some idiot translator added a silent H to spell it Phat. In English, that's pronounced Fat.
Sometimes you nguyen and sometimes you lose.
