Wondering how to pronunce a certain name?

[Owlie]

DH likes to laugh at the way Ohioans (aka Ahahns) pronounce the names of places that are named after foreign cities. I'd have more patience for this prejudice if he actually pronounced the unvoiced double "T" in his own Italian-derived last name.

Versailles, pronounced Ver-sails. That grates on my ears every time I hear it.
