  Pronunciations are in the ear of the beholder. 

I'll never forget my first day of work after joining a major 
Corporation when the Chairman of the Board asked me upon introducing 
me from the dias at a stockholder meeting.:

"Is it pronounced Bar Bone, or Bar Boni?"

I replied: "Any way YOU want Mr. Chairman."

Broke the place up. After the laughter stopped, I said Bar Boni.

All kinds of great township names in Pennsylvania or Delaware that are 
tough to pronounce. Like Uwchland, Toughkennemonx, Quintynnes, 
Boisterre, Hockessin, Charleroi, DuBois, Hokendauqua, and my 
favorites, one with no vowels unless you count the Ys, Cynwyd and the 
other with all vowels if you count the y, Yoe.
