Local pronunciation of a name is always interesting.

Saint John as a person's name in England is pronounced Sinjin for example.

Edinburgh is pronounced Edinburoh.

Toronto is pronounced Trono.

Brits pronounce Houston as Hooston instead of Hewston as a local does.

Gstaad is pronounced Shtad.

But my favourite is a village in Scotland I stayed in for a while. The name is Ravenstruther and locals pronounce it Rainstree. Perhaps not so much a question of pronunciation as of lazy shortening like Trono from Toronto.

Fun thread.

But people will always argue about them. LOL
