Is intentionally misspelling my name passive/aggressive?

This is a pet peeve, but slightly more than a minor annoyance because it is personal. Still not worth agonizing over, though.
Two people in my life, one a friend/acquaintance since middle school and the other my mother-in-law, misspell my name when they want me to know I have done something “wrong.” They know perfectly well how to spell it properly (it isn’t difficult) but do this passive/aggressive thing to let me know I’m not in good favor.
It is as simple as Christy v Christie. One day an email will start with: Hi Christie!... Two days later it is: Christy, ...
Do you have anything that is more than a “pet” peeve but still not worth getting angry about?
