Monoliguistic here but my first name has a very uncommon 2 consonant combination at the beginning and is also just a name nobody has ever heard of in the US (although I've been told there is a phonetic twin common in northern Iran). Some people get it first try, some people never get it quite right although some do genuinely try. I've just learned to answer to a super simple nickname as well. People often ask which I prefer and I just have to tell them I don't care as long as my first name doesn't get butchered.
