Not as far as I know, but /Sr/ instead of /kr/ for my first name is sometimes
used in my family as a semi-joking nickname. Influence of writing...

Christophe (never a problem) Grandsire, like _grand_ and _sire_ together. No, no
hyphen, no there is a d after the n, not at the end of the word, no, it's an s,
not a c, no, there is an e at the end. Well, when I think that my name is simply
the compound of two perfectly valid words in French, how come nobody ever writes
it correctly the first time they hear it?

As for spelling a glyph wrong, ask the Chinese, they probably know about that :)
