I got several FF names mispronounced as a kid. I thought Zidane was pronounced "zi-dain", Steiner was "Steen-ner", Freya was "Free-yah", Eiko was "Eek-co", constantly misread Amarant as Aramant ("Ah-rah-mant"), Seifer was "See-fur", Rinoa was "Rhye-no-ah", Yuffie was "yoff-ee", Aeris was "Air-rees", Shiva was "Shiver", Odin was "Ohh-dinn", and a bunch of others I'm sure I'm forgetting. I also made the Teedus mispronounciation (though I swear I heard Teedus when playing DISSIDIA ages ago).

I also recall mispronouncing the word steak as "Steek" when first reading the word in a video game.

The biggest "mispronounciation" of a word/name I ever made was when I was around 7 or 8 when I was playing some sort of (I think) early quiz computer game and the game showed the word "funky" on its own. I thought it read/was pronounced "Fucky", which when I said it at one point in school or somewhere else in public got me in trouble.
