Americans should be advised that it's pronounced "Darby" and always has been.
Don't complain, we have so many screwed up place names pronunciations. Half of them came from Britain. But we have no excuse, for example, for the dually-pronounced "Houston" which is said one way in Houston, and another way in Manhattan. A moment of thought will tell you that "HYOO-stən" is a pretty ridiculous way to say it. "Hou" is "how" as in House.
