It was already so difficult for me to call #desplaines, #illinois /dɛs pleɪnz/ rather than /de plɛn/, but I just learned that #marseilles, #il is pronounced /marseɪlz/ and #lagrange, IL is /lə greɪndʒ/.

I had no idea that, in #french, #darthvader is called #darkvador. It makes sense as both /θ/ and syllabic /ɹ/ would be difficult in French, but for a second I sort of took offense to the name change, lol

Personally I think the Danish word for this bird, "musvit", is a reshape of titmouse ( > mustit > musvit). Musvit is usually seen as an onomatopoetic name, which is not implausible, bit I think it lacks a syllable to be the case.
