Oh, we have a TON of placenames in Michigan that are pronounced much differently than they are spelled. A lot of these are just Native American and French names/words that most people don't know how to pronounce anyway, but a few are just special for no apparent reason.

Examples:

Orion = "or-ee-un", Ionia = "eye-ON-nee-ah", Charlotte = "shar-lot", Milan = "MILE-an", Saline = "suh-LEEN"
