I have a theory: If it's uncommon, people's brains short-circuit. If it's too common, people don't think about it at all, so they mess it up. If it's one of those names you only run across occasionally, people get it right because they're thinking about it, but it's low-effort.
That's all I've got. I mean, of course people manage to get mine wrong sometimes, but it's rare for some reason.
On the other hand, everyone tries to spell my last name with A-R at the end, not E-R. The other day I had to spell it six or seven times.
