Yeah, I do find it a bit weird/amusing that this state is named after a guy who never set foot anywhere near it during his lifetime.

I know how to pronounce it; I just think it sounds better the other way.

The wrong way?  Okay.

No, the locals just pronounce it the wrong way!

In all seriousness, the non-local way is closer to the authentic Spanish pronunciation, since it is a Spanish word roughly translating to "snow covered".

I mean, I know that's technically true, but it just sounds wrong to me. Tongue
