Arckensaw vs. Arkansas

I was having a discussion with a female friend of mine and was summarily mocked for I mentioned that back when I was all of 6 or 7 years old I thought there were two distinctly separate states;

One called "Arckensaw" and one called "Arkansas."

The reason for my confusion was the obvious spelling of "Arkansas" is not pronounced "Arcken-saw" but "r-kansas."

Did anybody else have this confusion as a child so I can point out to my female colleague that I am not the only one that thought this way in their youth?
