I'm the Netherlands I haven't seen it happen that things are misspelled to make it look exotic/differnt/unique or anything like that. Maybe it happened a couple of times, but it is certainly not common. But as the saying goes here "
Doe maar normaal dan doe je gek genoeg." (approximate translation for those who can't read it: "Just be normal, that's crazy enough").
When I read Cezanne, I immediately thought "She was named after
Paul Cezanne!", but no :(
