If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

@HotLicks Yup...look at Cairo, Illinois. They pronounce it like "Karo" from the corn syrup.

@Cascabel - Yep, I was trying to think of that example, but it wasn't coming to me. Luckily I'm from Louisville, a town that everyone knows how to pronounce correctly!

As far as those examples that exist in Michigan, USA, the pronunciation for all three is the same: OH-ree-un, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
The constellation Orion, on the other hand, is pronounced oh-RY-un, with the emphasis on the second syllable.
For reference, I was born in Michigan, and lived there until my late 40's. I lived within 30 miles of Orion Twp and Lake Orion (both the town & the lake, obviously ;-)
