* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'': Tortimer's name is supposed to be a pun on the name Mortimer, but a few people assumed it was pronounced like "tour timer".

** Schala also has this problem. Her Japanese name is "Sara", so that's no help, and on top of not knowing if the A's in her name are long or short, it's unknown if the "Sch" is said as "sh" are with a hard K sound like the word "scholar".

* ''Literature/ACourtOfThornsAndRoses'': There's a bit of debate amongst readers over how to pronounce Rhysand's name. His nickname of Rhys is a real given name (Welsh in origin) pronounced the same as Reese, so some naturally assume Rhysand is pronounced "reese-and". However, others pronounce it as "rye-sand" or even "ris-and". Eventually, a pronunciation guide was released stating it's pronounced "ree-sand", though some readers still find it confusing or hard to adjust after spending years pronouncing it differently. Funnily enough, a few readers admitted they pronounced his nickname as "''reese''" but his full name as "''rye''-sand". Readers who are unfamiliar with the name Rhys were also known to say it as "rice" or "rise", adding to the confusion.
