My dd has a friend whose dad is French and called Jean-Pierre.

One day she had reason to write his name down and it came out Xompier.

Loved 'acsidunt' when DD was little and wrote a note to me apologising for spilling a yoghurt (there may have been some shouting but 'acsidunt' made my hard old heart melt).

My 3yo confidently told me that CR spells car. I couldn't fault his logic. At the moment he's picking up some letters phonetically and others by their letter names, so CR it is!

"fit" for theatre. It doesn't make sense until you pronounce it with a south London accent which makes a "f" sound of "th".
