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?
It's the natural way to pronounce it in their first language.
If I'm reading something in Spanish and I see a number I'll read the number in English.

This is how people who live here say it for the most part. And the only correct answer.

This is correct.
All of the options in the OP are wrong.. if you’re from NOLA, you say it as quoted above, you gotta pronounce every syllable.

I never hear people pronounce it that way. That's why her pronunciation stands out.

Well it’s still correct.. it’s gotten diluted over the years, but when i grew up there, that’s how you said it if you didnt want to sound like a tourist.

Southeast LA says Neworluns
One word.
Everyone else tries to be cool with how they say it thinking people down here say it that way.
