There's a lot of city names in the US that are in widely separated states. I believe the pronunciations of the various Houghs in the UK are huff, hoe, and how. Perhaps some knowledgeable brit can correct me.
Isreal is a fairly common pronunciation of Israel in the US. It's a word that probably most of us hear before we can read and it sticks with many folk. Of course, a truly correct pronunciation would be something like YEES rah ell, but that's a little bit farther than most would go. The common 'correct' pronunciation in English would be something like IZ ray ell but the sort of things that happens to unaccented vowels tends to drive them towards the GWB pronunciation.

Interesting todays citizens call themselves Israeli,
whereas Scripture refers to them as Israelites.
