How to figure out the actual name when it is so badly spelled

Surnames: Volchine, Blochuen
I have a family tree member who is identified on her own death certificate by her daughter with a maiden name spelled 'Volchine' or 'Volekine'. On her son's death certificate her maiden name was spelled 'Blochuen' by her grandson. Neither of these two names seem to be correct. Her parents were from Poland/Lithuania. What could that maiden name possibly be? It looks like the family members were possibly trying to spell it phonetically. Any ideas or help?
