I kind of find this one interesting (doesn't bother me). One of my best friends lives in Virginia and when we visit him we usually fly into the Norfolk airport. There you get strange looks if you pronounce the city phonetically, they say Nahfuk.
Having recently relocated to Nebraska, I've noticed the weather people here call Norfolk Nebraska - Norfork. At first I thought they were saying North Fork, but they kept pointing to Norfolk on the map.
