Wow, I have a little cousin with a speech impediment who says her name (Claire) like that, (Chloe with out the -ee). It sounds so wrong to my ears.
The only one I can think of that I mispronounced (sort of) is Ivan. Every place but the U.S. pronounces it ee-VAHN, but I adore it pronounced EYE-van. It sounds so handsome that way to me.

•EYE-ven is also acceptable, if not technically correct. ie. Ivan the Terrible (nt) · LuzDeTuVida · 5/5/2009, 8:51 PM
•Oh I know, but on most name boards, everyone scorns the EYE-ven pron.! . nt · Chanel · 5/6/2009, 6:16 AM
