There is also the matter that it is pretty traditional for French
names to get English-ized to avoid seeming pretentious. I speak
French with quite a competant Canadian accent, however I would NEVER
say "Par-ree" instead of Paris. We have a road in our town
called "Notre Dame", which everyone in the city calls "Noter Dame"
(Like "Motor" and "Same"), not because we don't know better, but
simple because we'd be looked at as ridiculous snobs if we stuck in
the French. I guess it is for that reason that I've always
pronounced the 't'.
Cheers!
