The "spell my name right" quote is attributed to several people, so I'll just mention George M. Cohan, because I can picture James Cagney saying it, and Huey Long because he was a politician, who appeared to be unashamed of his reputation. The marketing equivalent is to get your name out there somewhere. Most of us would prefer "good" publicity, so control what you can, and be pro-active when you can't.
