One local favorite is Skaneateles. It got its fifteen minutes when the Clintons took a presidential vacation there. The NPR reporter, interviewing the mayor, asked how it was pronounced. The mayor responded with a carefully enunciated Skayn ee atlas and then, in normal speech later on, pronounced it the way it is really pronounced, Skinny Atlas.
