Similarly, sort of...
When I was a college radio DJ in the 80's, I played records by the
band Seona Dancing, which featured lead singer Ricky Gervais, who is
now an actor/comedian. I assumed that Seona rhymed with Leona, but
years later I heard that the band was pronounced Shawna Dancing. I'm
not sure how anyone was supposed to know that.

I always "naturally" assumed that Dana Wynter's first name was

called by name several times, and it was pronounced "Donna" each time.
Are there other celebrities any of you can think of where most
people generally mispronounce their name? And is Cuba Gooding Jr"s
first name pronounced like the country or "Koo-bah"? And will he
ever make another good movie?
