Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. That's a tough name, as are Chukwuma Okorafor and Godwin Igwebuike. Tremaine Edmunds is not tough.
Tremaine Edmunds is an elite prospect with a common last name. There aren't four straight vowels or consonants, nor are there any tongue-twisting syllables or silent letters. It's a simple seven-letter last name. So why do people continue calling him Tremaine Edwards?

That's not just accidentally missing a letter or mispronouncing a name. That happens and isn't an egregious offense, even to top-10 NFL Draft prospects like Edmunds. He's being given a completely new last name by legitimate writers (e.g. Todd McShay, Joe Schad) and even NFL teams. Seriously, multiple NFL teams (or employees of) have written Tremaine Edwards in tweets, articles or videos.
Here's a small sampling of the repeated errors:
