Edge cases like the ones mentioned on this article will keep happening more often with the increased access to the internet worldwide. Either programs deal with these cases more intelligently or some family names will stop existing, virtually speaking. I have lost count of how many different versions of my last name I have since I moved to the United States. My health insurance, car insurance, apartment contract, driver's license, passport (this one has the correct name) are all spelled differently because some systems here don't accept white spaces on last names, so they add dashes. They length constraint is a short number, so they concatenate my 3 last names into a humongous word. Etc. I always find it funny, except when I need to, say, take an official certificate test and the name I put on the registration doesn't match to one on the IDs I bring, therefore I can't get admitted into the testing center. Of course I learned how to work with the system by now.
