What about Taliaferro County, pronounced by all 6 people that live there as tal-uh-ver.
Weird as shite.

Why is it weird?
Funny how actual real Southerners are smeared as backwards and intolerant, but hey.......look at this thread of enlightened cutting edge go-getters mad because someone somewheres actually still has a unique culture in the cookie-cutter milk-toast states of America.

Perhaps the question should be why don't the people today pronounce it the same as the folks who have lived there for generations have pronounced it since it was founded back in the early 1800's....or why the Revolutionary War captain it was named after pronounced his last name that way....just as it had been pronounced in England since the 1500's....when it was adopted from an an Italian surname.
History...not weird...
If you're there and run into one of the 6 residents pronounce it as Tolliver so you don't appear uncouth.
