I just created a profile, and after I created it, I realized that I had misspelled the surname. Kikeer instead of Kiker.
Should I change the surname? Or leave it as is?
WikiTree profile:
Rose Rasberry
closed with the note:
I took the advice and changed the surname.

I would go ahead and correct the misspelling, leaving a note indicating that.
