Grammar doesn't apply to names, most of the time, because they aren't part of the English language. Names are often derivitives of other languages, and unless your name can be defined in a dictionary, it's not necessarily a "real word" in the English language. My last name is Pelikan. So, is it spelled wrong? Not for my name it isn't. Grammatical rules are not meant to be applied to names. But that's unfortunate that everyone spells your's wrong, hahaha. It'd be my pet peeve too if I were in your position.
