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)
Oh man, that sounds like you're referring to the one in Missouri. I riled up a number of folks that way.
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.
