There is certainly room for confusion between IFR waypoints and the real place names they are frequently named after, pronounced the same as, but not necessarily spelt the same as, and invariably not geographically co-located with.
eg SETEL for Settle in North Yorkshire (several miles apart)
LESTA for Leicester
RIBEL for Ribble
and as has been previoulsy mentioned, REXAM etc

"XIDIL". is pronounced X IDIL

Thanks for that!

Spelling it out in France has it own hazards, though. The first time I asked for a QFE, I wondered why they were ignoring me and talking to this other aircraft, call sign Quebec Foxtrot Echo...

It is not unusual to be given a waypoint name which is not immediately recognised, and one needs to immediately ask "please spell".
