1. Yes, the first day of school is always so challenging with roll call.  Every year I will often start by saying... "Ok guys, I apologize if I mess this up, my teachers always would say my last name wrong so please let me know how to say it".  I do try to write their names phonetically on a paper next to them, but admittedly I will often not say their last names throughout the year.

2. I need to make a better effort at getting their FULL name and use it as much as I can once I have finally learned it.  I like the idea of asking them after class in private so that I can really focus on it one-on-one.
