It's random, so with only a few letters, it's possible that it will more likely spell out the name correctly (vis-à-vis a longer name, although that's possible as well).

I actually do agree with this, but that is because I have Teheran stuck in my head due to the Atlanta Braves starting pitcher, Julio Teheran. So, those who are Braves fans may also get mixed up with it. Now, I do understand that last names of baseball players doesn't count as to accept an incorrect spelling of a word.
