It’s similar to Donellsonville or Donaldsonville, nobody wants to live there.
Who cares?

I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way.

You should go to Hattiesburg and lecture it’s residents on how to pronounce where they live. Apparently they are all doing it wrong too
A sad commentary that all those people have been pronouncing it wrong since they first named it Hattiesburg, passing that ignorance down from generation to generation…

City founded by William Hardy( main drag through town is Hardy St.) who named it after his wife, Hattie. Hence, Hat-eez-burg.

My grandmother’s name was Hattie so that is the way I pronounce it.
