Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. The city of Ft. Wayne, Indiana is asking people to vote for a name for its new municipal building and the leading vote getter is former mayor Harry Baals.  Yes, the pronunciation is what you probably think it is, although his descendents changed the pronunciation to sound like something you do with hay.  Anyhoo, I have great admiration for the reporter who kept a straight face despite having to repeatedly say "Harry Baals Government Center," although I do wonder if he really needed to say it might be the "butt of jokes."
