There's a small town near me (in East Tennessee) named Maryville. The locals pronounce it "Murvul."

And "Featherstone-Haugh" is "Fanshaw" or "Farnshaw", and "Tagliaferia" is
"Tolliver", and "Marjoribanks" is "Marshbanks" or "Marchbanks". I haven't
found many names like that, or they'd be worth Yet Another Jotting On
Names...
