There is an expectation that there is a silent "e" on the end of my surname, which is only four letters long. Every time I spell it out (there are different ways to spell it) the listener says, with surprise 'No "e"?!?!!'. Sometimes they add 'Are you sure?!?' (well, DUH!).
My maiden name was also a bu&&er to spell out, with people doubling the wrong letter, no matter how long I paused after the doubled letter to allow them to write it down before continuing.
