Names used in questions everything, companies, people, names

I'm all for diversity but why do they have to use such hard names in the questions for both the people and the companies. I keep forgetting who is what and have to keep. Rechecking ugh!
At this point everything is bugging me!

Any time I see a name that I cannot pronounce at CFA reading speed (fast) I just call them Mr. or Mrs. (first letter in their last name). Generally, in the item set once they give their full name they start referring to them by their last name. So Benjamin Metanyahou would be converted into Mr. M. which makes reading much easier. I hate those names. I do this with Names, Companies, Countries & Currencies.

It's to compensate for the US-centric bias of the overall curriculum.

Also, why do they have to have CFA after the person's name? Just say their name! This isn't a resume.
