Was a guy whose younger twin brothers started calling him ''Dee' for unknown reasons, his family adopted the nickname but he managed to maintain his real name in school.
"Yes" ... although I'm not sure mispronouncing was the culprit. My daughter replaced the first letter of my surname with an "R" and called me that instead of Dad. She still does and has even introduced me using that nickname (usually just to her good friends).
