Re: how much say do you have in pronouncing your name or town?
Knew a girl at work once with the name Marie. Except she INSISTED it was to be pronounced Maw-ree, or basically like the name Maury. Got real mad when someone who didn't know her read her name off a list and pronounced it like 99.9% of the rest of the Marie's in the world pronounced it.
If you insist on a non-standard pronunciation of a standard name, you better learn to live with mispronunciation.
