Re: Names you've been mispronouncing this whole time?
This is misspelling more than mispronouncing but for a long time I thought Cressida had an "n" in it and I pronounced it cress-IN-da. I never questioned it because it seemed to go with Melinda, Belinda, Clarinda, Lucinda, etc. I still think Cressinda should exist but at some point I realized that the name I'd been reading as Cressinda my whole life was actually Cressida.

Oh, Cressida! I thought Cressida was kreh-SEED-a for a long time.
