Why is it that half of Illinois politicians have entirely unspellable last names?

The City of Big Shoulders used a lot of immigrant shoulders from central and eastern Europe. I find it quite helpful that my grandmother had such a name. It became my mother's maiden name, and thus the code word for those ubiquitous telephone credit verifications. I doubt it could be guessed, and then spelled correctly without considerable research.
