My wife has a double barreled first name and it's amazing how few people know what a "hyphen" is when she tries to spell it out.
My wife reverted to her maiden name because a hyphen appeared to difficult for people.
I must admit I find it equal parts amusing and irritating when I have to phonetically spell one of the most common names in English speaking countries to someone called Nahasapeemapetilon.
Always love a Simpsons reference

A friend of mine's wife had to do the same thing recently, except in her case it wasn't the hyphen that was too difficult - it was him!

People used to mispronounce my names all the time while growing up. I corrected them and then moved on with the rest of my life.
Easier for you than the bloke I once worked with - he was called Dipthik Shidpour (and no, I'm not making that up)
