Listening to Prunella Scales reading Cranford I was jarred out of the story when she pronounced "Don Quixote" as "Don Quicks-oat" until I realized that it was the character pronouncing it that way.
As for local names, in Columbia, South Carolina we had a Huger Street that was pronounced "You-gee" St. and Horry County (where Myrtle Beach is located) is pronounced "Orry County"
