I have a name (Roblin) that is French in origin and as I'm from UEL stock, it's been hanging around Canada for a very long time. It's six letter long and two syllables. Nothing is silent and it's pronounced as it looks. It is relatively uncommon so I am constantly confronted by people who can't say it right and have no clue how to spell it. 

Get over it buddy. It's not always about you or where you are from. Sometimes, it's just people being bad at their job.
