In my country official transliteration to the latin alphabet has changed like 3 or 4 times over past 20 years. I had to change my perfectly valid and legal drivers license recently to make it match my passport. And I have a very simple first and last names, some people are still having issues with horrible mandated transliterations and mismatching documents. Fun.


Out of curiosity, which country is that?


Ukraine


Now I understand, I work with some Ukranians and they often have similar but slightly different names (Oleks, Olehk, Maria, Mariia).
