When my mother used to talk about Princess Diana, she usually referred to her as Princess Di. I thought she was talking about some sort of evil vampire (Princess "Die") and wondered why people always mentioned how kind and wonderful Princess "Die" used to be.
I found out years later that Di was short for Diana, which made a lot more sense to me! ;)
