Hahahahah love it.

This one is a surname and, frankly, is taking the piss just a little:

Fetherstonhaugh

Anyone care to throw out a guess as to how that one is pronounced?

A not so near by community here in KY has the name Chalybeate. It's pronounced kuh-LEE-bee-uht.

There's also Moutardier...I've never heard it pronounced, but, for fun, I pronounce it Mutter Dear (Mother Dear).

Going the other way, there's Gamaliel, pronounced locally as guh-MAIL-ya.

feather-stone-oh?

I was always perplexed why Mackinac Island is pronounced Mackinac IS-land. Just kidding. It's pronounced Mack-in-aw. How do you get 'aw' from 'ac'?
