Default how much say do you have in pronouncing your name or town?

i've been thinking about this topic a bit recently. i went to one of my brothers hs bball games in a town in buena vista township. the town was just "buena", however everyone insisted in calling the town "b-you-na". then today, the packers on tv with brett "farve" favre.

i think that whatever name you want to be called is up to you, but i dont think you get to pick an odd alternate (ie wrong) pronounciation. maybe this is just one of my compulsive tendencies coming through though.

anyway, i just wanted to hear some other people's thoughts on the issue.
thanks, and happy holidays
