The Tennis Court Oath from the French Revolution was declared in such a tennis court.
Before I learned that, I always wondered why they would go to a tennis court, as opposed to a square or just on the street. Turns out they preferred a roof.
From a certain point in life, I've stopped bothering with this. The name is just a communication tool, people can call me whatever they want as long as I know it's me.
When I'm speaking, I just pronounce it correctly and then spell it (I have the benefit of its Latinisation being short).
It might be worth it if there are many chances to use it, but for hotel check-ins, they won't even remember my name after ten seconds, let alone the correct pronunciation.
That being said, I felt somewhat guilty for not being grateful to some people that actually made the effort to pronounce it correctly (or at least ask and then give up lol).
8 (八 ba) is considered a lucky number in Mandarin due to its pronunciation being similar to "fortune" (发 fa). So you get lots of things priced with 8 (also for telephone numbers, plate numbers, etc.)

The bricks and wall thickness are designed to absorb heat and release them in the evening though. Not sure if it can work the other way around.
