My first name is Aaron...shhhhh, don't tell anyone.
My whole life, I've had people spell my name Erin, or Arron, or even think I'm a girl in emails because they don't see the beard on my face. Never ceases to annoy me, because my spelling is the oldest in the world. Goes back to the beginning of Judaism. You'd think it would be the default spelling in people's heads. I've even gone to the length of pronouncing it "Ahhrun" to get people to think about the spelling for a nanosecond before writing the girl's name down. They usually get it right.
Funny thing, when they spell it Arron, I use that as an excuse to start talking like a pirate.

Oh I could tell you stories.
My name is Wade and you'd think it was the most complicated name ever. I've had a lot of trouble because of it for some really weird reason.

To be fair, there are like 5 Billion different valid ways of spelling it.
I think "Shawn" is the only name with more.

I'm named Aaron too. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me "is that with an A or an E," I'd probably be able to buy Apple now.

My last name is Rickard. Very few people have ever got it right, instead writing Ricard, or, more commonly, Richard.
Worst bit? Some of my GCSE EXAM PAPERS got this wrong.

My name's Scott, and I've had sooo many people try to spell it with one t. Who the f*** is named Scot? NOBODY! Even worse is when really stupid people spell it "Scoot". *sigh*

Martin, here. Somehow, I've gotten Mark, Marvin, even Martha! It's like, "I'm a man! I have a beard! How do I look like a Martha?"

My name is Jonathan but it's always misspelled as Johnathan, Jonathon, Johnathon, or John every single damn time! I had to make my college give me a new diploma because they misspelled my name and I don't know where that extra "h" came from but sure as hell not from me!
