How many American children grew up reading Harry Potter pronouncing Hermione as "Hermi-Own" until the movies came out?
No, then you get used to applying the pronunciations of word fragments from one word to another. Reading doesn't make you pronounce things wrong. Not reading does. It's why so many people on YouTube embarrass themselves by confidently getting certain words hilariously wrong.

Is this common? I can't say that I know a lot of children, but the ones I do know had no problem with it. I know because one named a stuffed animal after her, and another asked her mother if she could change her own name to Herminoe.
