Definitely, and it's clearly going on for Seekers too. Looking through the compiled name lists turns up a lot of minor variations in similar names, which might be deliberate or accidental on the part of the writers. Letters vary and H's get thrown in or left out anywhere they feel like it.

The naming conventions for Xaela has a whole thing on how their language is mostly spoken rather than written, and lots of variant spellings come up as a result, so I assume the same applies to Miqo'te shifting from their traditional tribe lifestyle to the cities.
