Torn on Pronunciation Dilemma

It would help if we knew the name, where you’re from, and what social circles you travel in.

For example, where I come from the name Sara/Sarah is pronounced with a short a in the first syllable, not sai-ruh but sa-ruh. Never occurred to me the name was said any differently until I left [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_f]England[/name_f] and went to university in [name_m]Tucson[/name_m], [name_f]Arizona[/name_f], where I was accused of being phony and stuck-up for having a pronounced [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_f]England[/name_f] accent.

So it really does depend.
