When we lived in Louisville there was a t-shirt going round - you can probably still find it online - that had Louisville spelled out the 5 or 6 different ways it is pronounced. Everything from Lewisville to Looeyville to Luvul to Loouhvul. Fun!
Saw it in Meijer just a few months ago---they drag it out for Derby, the golf tourney, etc.

Georgia pronunciations:
Louisville - Lewisville
Cairo - KARO (long a, long o)
LaFayette - pronounced like it is spelled - La FAy ette (first a short, second a long)
Albany - Al Benny is close enough to get you safely out of town.
Plus the capital sounds more like ADD-lanta. (I grew up in Gwinnett, so I can tell on myself!)
We did manage to leave the pronunciations of Rome and Athens alone, though. I used to drive through Hopulikit--pronounced Hope You Like It, of course. Needless to say, their welcome sign was frequently stolen.
