1. New-Ohr-Lens (common American pronunciation)
2. Nuh Aw-lins (the way my dad’s family native to NOLA pronounces it)
3. New Awh-lee-anns
4. N’awlins (cringeworthy)
5. Norlins

Why do mexican women on TV speak perfect english without any accent but the second a spanish name comes up they sound like they ate a spoonful of peanut butter?

Best I can spell it out
New-Ohr-lee-uhns
Doesn't butcher it, but can't unhear it now.

My (native) family always said it like one word: noo/WAH/lins.
I don't have the accent to pull it off.

New R Lens
N’R Lens
Depending on how quickly I’m speaking and/or how much I’ve had to drink.
