My name is Michaud. It's pronounced Me-show. Even the Cajuns get this wrong when they see it.

Massachusetts has to be the worst offender.
Haverhill is HAY-vrill Chelmsford is CHUMS-ferd Concord is CON-kid not Concorde And, of course, Massholes invented the silent R. Andover is AN-do-va Worcester is WUSS-ta |

Re: how much say do you have in pronouncing your name or town?
A town by me gets pronounced incorrectly all the time. Wanaque is almost always mispronounced WAH-NAK-YOO. The correct pronunciation is WAH-NAH-KEE (it's a native american name).
