Sure - I had an English teacher who told us that for a hugely long time he had no idea how to pronounce "facetious" (Fah-SEE-Shus) because to him it was "FA-set-us" - so yeah, particularly with proper names it's not always perfectly correct, but it's some kind of pronunciation, some aural interpretation of the symbols in that particular spelling.
