Unsurprisingly, with a surname like Sforcina, living in an English speaking country, I've dealt with problems with that all my life. My ancestor who came out to Australia in the gold rush anglicised it be making the S silent, which I don't blame him for, as it helps the Anglo-Saxon brain the most, but even with that, I've dealt with a lot of issues with people thinking I don't know how to spell my own name.
But still, even with that, it's better than the issues I have with Italians who see my surname and assume I must know Italian.
