That's one thing a better orthography would fix, although no doubt to get any such thing pushed through you'd have to promise to let people keep their names as they are.
No doubt.
I certainly know of several areas where proper names often (or at least occasionally) have old spellings.
For example, "w" in Hungarian names, "ß" after short vowel in German names, Inuktitut names like "Pootoogook", my first Japanese teacher who had 與 in her name rather than 与, ....
If spelling reform ends up turning to an entirely different alphabet, then you'd likely avoid the problem, but if you stay within the Latin alphabet, I'm sure people will tend to want to keep the spellings of their names.
