As you probably figured out there, Sweden is one of those languages that have three extra letters.
For the letter F a lot of people use Fredrik as opposed to Filip as more and more people have started using the English spelling of the name Philip which could confuse people into writing a P instead of an F.
Also, any time the letters P and N has to be read out in that order following each other, general sniggering can usually be heard as Petter Nicklas is a commonly used slang for the male genitalia. Personally, when I see that, I reploace Petter with Patrik instead.
