I give the bank a fairly obvious fake last name they could spell without asking me, since it's famously attached to a bumpkin. I get a lot of strange looks for that one. I can barely remember how to spell my mother's maiden name since it wasn't anglicized.
Interesting to note that overseas support really struggle with a lot of these security questions. So many are central to the Western world and they can't seem to spell it at all because they aren't familiar with our culture.
I never once felt like those security questions are secure at all. Some are just horrible, especially the maiden name one and birth city. Granted, the password manager works well for technical people, but it doesn't work for non techs or anyone who's had a bank account for more than ten years or so.
