Oh we have some great ones in Texas, largely due to English speakers having difficulty with Spanish, French, and German names (Study these before coming here for ClarinetFest 2010 so you can sound like a native).
Miami, TX is pronounced "My-am-uh"
Palestine, TX is pronounced "Pal-uh-steen"
Weimar, TX is pronounced "Why-mer"
The Pedernales River is pronounced "Purd-en-alice"
Manchaca, TX is pronounced "Man-shack"
Mexia, TX is pronounced "Muh-hay-uh"
Etoile, TX is pronounced "E-toil" (rhymes with "free oil," in other words)
Iraan, TX is pronounced "Eye-ruh-ann" (named after two woman, Ira and Ann)
Nevada, TX is pronounced "Nuh-vay-duh"
Gruene, TX is pronounced "Green" (so it's written in German, but pronounced according to the English translation of the German word)
San Felipe (a street in Houston) is pronounced "San Philippy"
But my favorite one of all is from Louisiana:
Natchitoches, LA is pronounced "Nack-uh-dish" (Not to be confused with the East Texas town of Nacogdoches, pronounced "Nack-uh-doe-chez," which is only about a 2 hr. drive from Natchitoches)
