Help[Opinions] Well, in my part of Texas
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
about 45mi north of Houston, we do. I can't speak for the rest of the state, but it would strike me odd if they said it differently in El Paso or Amarillo. I don't know for sure, but I expect this is the name of a local family from decades ago, given its prevalence in this area. I've also heard Creighton pronounced Cry-ton in Austin and San Antonio, but by people who've been here, to my town.
Of course, there's also a Harris County road named Kuykendahl, pronounced KIRK-en-doll. And the town of Refugio is pronounced ree-FYUR-ee-oh. We Texans just do things differently, I guess.
