It could be that they see his name first and say it how they think it's pronounced (perhaps even seeing the spelling and simply assuming it is pronounced "Juan") - for example when I saw Pyrrha's name, I thought it was pronunced like "pyro" - and even after they finally hear its correct pronounciation, they still stick to theirs. It's something that I find happens a lot with Pokemon. i know what u mean, im like that with yangs surname coz even tho i know how to pronounce it, when im writing it i still think in my head  yang x ao long :S
