In Australia they pronounce it Mur-ann.

They have a town on the East Coast called Ballina-Bay which they pronounce Bal-eeen-a Bay, sounds fuckn stupid.

I know someone called "Mo-ran" as he calls himself. 

Drives me mad!  I keep telling him he's pronouncing his own name wrong....

England people get a lot of words wrong. We all know that the 'g' at the end of a verb is silent as in calling (callin), running (runnin) etc. The English prounounce that last G. It's amazing. I worked for a boy in Luton and answered his phones for him and he'd say 'who was rinGinG?' It was like Ring - ging - ga.

Some people in the north pronounce the final G as well. So do Americans. It's called having a different accent.

Fella I used to know in England, pronounced his surname as Sym-the. Even though it was Smith. Always reminded me of Hyacinth Bucket.

Symthe?

I know a family whose surname is Lemon. The mother of the clan thinks she is a bit above everyone and calls herself Mrs Le Mon.
