New Bern, NC is not pronounced as two separate words. You kind of run them together, i.e., "Newbern."

In fairness, our short time in Texas had us scratching our heads over some that should be easy like:

Italy
Burnet
Guadalupe
Coppel
Mexia
Baby Head Cemetery
(well, easy to pronounce, but oddest)


There were more, and the roads were worse.

We’ve got a la~FAY~et too!

And a Palmer and a Remlap.....two brothers that started a town (Palmer) only to have a disagreement so the other brother moved a short distance away where he founded another town (Remlap....which is Palmer spelled backwards).

LOL
