I think a lot of people do that for fun. :)
There's a small town near me called Eau Claire. I know the big one in Wisconsin is pronounced "properly," but the one here people don't say correctly. Drives me crazy! Heck, even the name of the town I live in could be said more French-ed, but it's not. I suppose it's technically a Dutch name, so guess that's why.

I love Michigan place names. My address gives people trouble sometimes if they're from elsewhere, because I guess not everyone knows Ypsilanti or Washtenaw county. :-P
One of my favorite pieces of Michigan name trivia is that a lot of our cities and counties have names that were creates to seem Native American in origin but are really completely meaningless.
