I always thought it was (mis)pronounced like the start of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Wasn't there a (almost certainly apocryphal) story, at the time of the collapse of the great Albanian pyramid scheme, that there was panic in Canada as a result of breaking news reports of 'widespread unrest and violence in Tirana'?

It's Brizbin, not Brisbane ;) As I found out.

Boca Raton is Boca Ratone not ton.

Not really a destination but my current city - Chisago City. On the phone, everyone will pronounce it "Chicago". We have a rich history of Swedish cultures here, but because we tend to live in an area where there was a lot of Native Americans at one time, THEY named it “Ki-Chi-Saga”, which means “fair and lovely and large waters.” The name has been changed slightly through the years. It creates problems such as, I was booking a trip this week and the travel rep said to me, "Ok we have you leaving "Chicago" da da da. "Uh, no, I actually need to leave from Mpls"

Ketchikan is really not that hard to pronounce, yet I manage to totally confuse every call center agent. The same with Metlakatla. Some interesting names in my areas. I like Naukati the best (Naah-ki-ti). Of course, we have Knudson Cove and no the K is not silent. Don't ask me why!

Ah, yes. Working in the tourism industry in Alaska, you hear all kinds of crazy ones.

Talkeetna: tall-KEET-nuh. I've heard tal-KIT-nuh, tal-uh-ka-LIT-nuh, and about anything else you could imagine.
Seward: like sewer with a D. Everyone from Outside calls it SEA-ward.
Kenai: KEY-nye/KEEN-eye. Tourists can't help but call it ki-NYE/kin-EYE.
And nearby Soldotna is always mangled to sol-id-oh-DIT-na or something (the least wrong I've ever heard was sole-DOTE-nuh). It's sole-DOT-na.
Kotzebue: I have NEVER heard anyone pronounce this correctly. It's KOTZ-uh-byoo (Kotz for short). I've heard kotz-eh-BWAY and kotz-uh-BOO-ee.
Valdez: it's val-DEEZ, not val-DEZZ or bal-DAYSS (we're not hispanohablantes here ;)). (Cordova was [indirectly] named after Córdoba, Spain, but it's cor-DOHV-uh.)
And yes, we really do have a Tatitlek up here, right between Valdez and Cordova. It's pronounced just like you'd think. :p
