My poor, poor Cyril.
The only example I can think of are the girls named Ciara but pronounce it like Sierra.
Oh, my husband has several students with names pronounced not the way they're spelled. I just asked him for examples:
Mercades, pronounced like Mercedes
Quicanetta, pronounced kwin-sa-net-a. Apparently there's an invisible n.
Mai'lyjha, pronounced like Malaysia

Those make me feel sick that these awful names are in my state of Michigan.

Oh, his classes are full of them. He teaches in Benton Harbor, if you know anything about there. I keep meaning to make him get me his new class lists. There are some cool names, and some really crazy ones like those I just posted!

I went by Benton Harbor when I was heading to Fermilab in Illinois.

I know a Ciara "Sierra"! But her name is strange because her parents named her kee-ahr-uh, but her grandpa randomly gave her the nickname Sarah. Eventually they molded together and she became Sierra, but still used the spelling Ciara.
Oh wow... those students' names are scary.
