I used to live near a town called Nevada (nuh-vay-duh), and boy was it fun to rule them up by calling it Nevada (neh-vah-duh, like the state)
Don’t forget Italy with two syllables, Mexia which is neither Mex-ee-uh nor Muh-hee-uh, but rather Muh-hay-uh, and a million others. I don’t think anyone who ever moved in from out of state has pronounced Waxahachie quite right on the first try.
Oh man, that sounds like you’re referring to the one in Missouri. I riled up a number of folks that way.
