Or for that matter, anyone else refer to him as such?

NP. Yeah, I feel like OP could have settled this debate by using Google.

I feel like Bob Saget would find this thread hysterical and jokingly start saying his name as Sajay.

Did none of you go to elementary school in the 90s where saget was rhyming slang for the f word so you wouldn’t get into trouble for yelling it in recess? The Pete buttigieg f word.

No, I'm not an asshole so I didn't yell the f-word at recess.

If Warren Buffett wanted to purchase the Old Country Buffet restaurant chain and he added an extra "t" at the end would it still had been called Boo Fay or Buff Ett?

I know a Smyth who pronounced it S-mEYE-th. Should I tell them they are wrong, that it’s S-mith?

I'm a Smith and know that a Y and I are pronounced differently in this usage. Although I do get a lot of customer service people who ask me to spell my name so maybe Smith isn't as totally obvious as I think it is.

New Yorkers say HOW STUN instead of HEW STUN. Texans say HEW STUN.

No, those are two different places. One is in NYC, and one in TX. Nothing to do with the speakers.

Rather like we pronounce McLean "mac-lain" and not lean (as in in slim).

Of course not, honey. You would NEVER. But surely you've heard it.

No, both New Yorkers and Texans call the street in Manhattan HOWSTUN and the city in Texas HEWSTUN. Because they’re pronounced differently.

Ok. If you say so.

There are other Houstons and Houstons all over the country and pronunciations vary. Catch a clue. It's not an accent.

In Missouri, we have Versailles, Lebanon, Nevada, Cairo, none of which are pronounced the way you'd assume.

I’m taking a wild guess here:

Ver-sales like car sales?

Le Banon (like Steve bannon)

Nev- Ada

Kay-row?

I put myself in mizzorah shoes, if I was an extra on ozark

Yes, except for Lebanon. It's LEB-nin. Or LEB-uh-nin, with the middle syllable barely there.
