Kind of like Billy Joe Cartwright or my own youngest daughter, Anne-Rose 
Brooks?

We write an accent-grave on the e in Anne not out of great cultural 
understanding but so that I can call her something like Anna-Rose and 
my wife can call her something like Annie-Rose. (-:

We also have friends who have 11 children, one of whom is named Jonathan 
and another one John. Causes endless confusion when Aussies typically 
abberviate Jonathan to Jon. Leon is hard to get wrong, but I still get 
called Niel, Noel, Leo and Len (in approximately that order of 
frequency) by strangers.

Cheers; Leon
