Yes. I suppose that it depends on the parents' accent, how long they've been here, how well they know English. I work with native Spanish speakers, and am having trouble thinking of a time when they couldn't say the J at the begining of a name. But,I do have a Nancy spelled Nansi and a future Allison spelled Allyson in my list of students because of the accent.
