I can't think of anyone on the spot who purposefully mispronounces their name, except for one kid whose name is Meldick, he chucked an 'r' in there in primary school coz of the obvious 'dick' thing (so it became Meldrick). But then he dropped the last syllable altogether and is just known as Mel now.
Also I actually went through a stage in Year 9 (that's...eighth grade I think) when I wanted everyone to call me 'Brookie' so I popped those two wee dots over the 'e' in Brooke like my friend Zoe had lol. Obviously everyone was too kind to point out my lack of knowledge of how diaresis works, but I grew out of that stage pretty quickly anyway :-P
There are a couple of names I mispronounce on purpose because I like them better that way (but I'd never use them for this reason): Siobhan (I prn it as shob-HAN) and Mae (MY).
