I've made fun of people with unusual names...

...in this blog, but here's someone who actually did something about it:

Frank Frazzetta was born in Brooklyn on Feb. 9, 1928, and as a boy studied painting at a local art school. (Early in his career, he excised one z from his last name because “with one z it just looked better,” Mr. Pistella said. “He said the two z’s and two t’s was too clumsy.”)

I'm not sure that Frazzetta with two z's is so terrible, but I give the man credit for taking the bull by the horns.
