Has there ever been a famous writer with a name that is difficult to pronounce?
For speakers of his language, I mean.

I was going to say my diary but then I saw this word, so I am not replying with "my diary desu".

No, but you'll find some american authors whose names are constantly mispronounced since they are of foreign origin.

Yes.
It was even forbidden to pronounce it.

I was going to say Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi but then I saw the second sentence. Now I'm just posting because it's a buzzy name. Buzz buzz.
Some German people have problems saying Nietzsche, I don't know why.

Even by virtue of my descent, I am granted an eye beyond all merely local, merely nationally conditioned perspectives; it is not difficult for me to be a "good European." On the other hand, I am perhaps more German than present-day Germans, mere citizens of the German Reich, could possibly be-I, the last anti-political German. And yet my ancestors were Polish noblemen: I have many racial instincts in my body from that source-who knows? [...] When I consider how often I am addressed as a Pole when I travel, even by Poles themselves, and how rarely I am taken for a German, it might seem that I have been merely externally sprinkled with what is German.
I am a pure-blooded Polish nobleman, without a single drop of bad blood, certainly not German blood.

None of God's names are difficult to pronounce (for the original Hebrew speakers who knew how to)
Also I'm pretty sure it's more of a modern development to not speak the name of God

My middle name is Gaertner. Until I was 13 I wrote it Guertner. To date I normally don't use my middle name.
