The Cicierega Effect (named for Neil Cicierega) is when *literally nobody can spell your name without having to google it*. Whoever decided what your last name is was an absolute dick.
The namesake itself is only a mild example. A famous mega-example is Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffwelchevoralternwarengewissenhaftschaferswessenschafewarenwohlgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschutzenvorangreifendurchihrraubgierigfeindewelchevoralternzwolfhunderttausendjahresvorandieerscheinenvonderersteerdemenschderraumschiffgenachtmittungsteinundsiebeniridiumelektrischmotorsgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefahrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchennachbarschaftdersternwelchegehabtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneuerassevonverstandigmenschlichkeitkonntefortpflanzenundsicherfreuenanlebenslanglichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvorandererintelligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum Sr. (And yes, he gave his name on to his son.)
Cases of it can be found in names of other things, for example places (Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein), or departments of governments (Mannanafnanefnd), but it's mostly in human names, perhaps because names of other things have a tendency to be memorized by nerds.

Get the The Carter Effect mug.A creator who made a thing, but later expands on what they created with useless (often contradictory & illogical) information. Often done out of spite or clout, rather than actual creative intent
Ugh the creator of The Matrix added some useless lore that has nothing to do with the actual message. It's the Rowling Effect man.

Get the the lahye effect mug.You're driving at full speed through the main straight of a mountain pass, but your track instincts kick in and you turn in way too early/late, resulting in a head on collision with a guardrail.

Get the Mangum effect mug.The Gangsta Effect explains the proportional relationship between how fast one drives with the windows down, and how awesome one thinks one's music sounds.
Those at high risk for The Gangsta Effect commonly listen (but not limited) to: Rap, Hip Hop, Techno, Dub Step, and pretty much anything else with a heavy drum and bass line.
