I have a friend named Crystal Cain; her sister's name is Candace. Cain.

Candace doesn't happen to live in Texas, does she?  A gal by that name helped get my hound dawg from Texas to New Hampshire.  She was awesome, but yeah...Candy Cain?  Yeek.
I hate when people put extra letters on a shortened name.  WTF is up with that, anyway?  My name is Jen, not Jenn.  Though one of my high school friends had an interesting spelling of Jennifer - Jenipher.  Her little brother's name was Tau, pronounced "taw".
I've also known a Gemma.  And I love, love, love my BFF's daughters name, Ailish (a-lish).  She has troubles with her son, though.  His name is Aengus, and she hates that most people pronounce it like the beef cow.  It's supposed to sound more like En-gus.
My mom has the simplist Polish surname you'll ever read; seriously, five letters long, no -ski on the end, none of that thirteen consenents and one vowel nonsense, and yet nobody can spell it correctly.
Speaking of surnames, craziest one I ever heard was Klitgaard.  Don't think she dated much...
3dayz, I'd be totally guilty of pronouncing Kaj as Kahhhhj, only because of Kajagoogoo.  The 80's.  They ruined me.
