No, I double checked the spelling as I wrote the post.
However, reading your post I am thinking it could be one of those cases of a mother hearing a name (or what she thought was a name) while pregnant and using it for her own baby. I think that happens alot... It was an interesting find, and I had the same thoughts on pronunciation myself. Maybe it's a mis-spelled version of her real name too. I know alot of people who immigrate end up with names that aren't always exactly as they were when they left.. spelling errors and so forth.
Thanks for the input!
