You could call this an "Are You From Around Here Quiz." There are just a few that are outright wrong or have multiple correct pronunciations but otherwise a great compilation of difficult local names my students fricking butcher at our Metairie pharmacy.
I'd add these from Terrebone/Houma: Verrette and Gregoire.

Well, you need one for Avoyelles Cajuns, Lake Charles Cajuns, Lafayette Cajuns, New Iberia Cajuns, and Lafourche Cajuns, at the very minimum.
Oh, yeah, and Breaux Bridge speaks yet another dialect of Cajun.

How have y'all heard the name Ourso pronounced?
In BR, I hear people say Oar-so, but growing up I heard everyone on west bank of the river say Ooo-so.

Whoever made this is terrible at phonetic spelling. Some of them it helps, some of them leave me even more confused than the actual name does, others I actually know how to pronounce but I can't make sense of what they're trying to do.

It's hilarious seeing all these people arguing that some of the names are "wrong" because it doesn't fit their english dialect

"Caw-m-o?" Why not say "Como," like Perry, and I know folks who pronounce "Pitre," "Pete," and I've never heard "Daigle" pronounced "Day guh." We had a priest at our church names "Labat" and he pronounced his name "La-bot."
