Does anyone know?
It is named after Ralph Jordan, but I have lived in the South all of my life...have a brother named Jordan...and have never heard it pronounced this way.
I get constantly corrected when in Montgomery at my wife's grandparents house. (no pics)
Anybody ever heard this pronunciation outside of this instance?
Personally, it sounds ignorant...and yes I am aware he coached at UGA as well.
Thoughts?

I refuse to say these this way...I pronounce the first like the city in Egypt...and the second like the city in Texas
I think we would all like to pronounce French words like Lafayette correctly as well but it makes a man sound gay as frick if you do...

You just answered your own question. He was from ALABAMA.
ALABAMA isn't too much removed from being a third world country.

People pronounce Buchanan, Georgia "BUCK-an-yon".
It's Haralson County though.....so that explains a lot.

There's a road here in Wilmington: Kerr Ave. Everyone calls it "car."
Very annoying.
Also, terrible post.

Albany's Hamilton Jordan's name was pronounced Jurdan. Hamilton was Jimmie Carter's chief of staff.
Even worse, as head of the ATP, Hamilton passed an absurd rule that drove tennis great Bjorn Borg to retire.
