Stab in the dark, but I always think
R eye nce Pree bus

(nce like the end of pence)

And the first name being one syllable together. Like you're saying "rind" but you end with nce.

I think it's the same as "Rinse". I'm not positive, though.

Confusing because he has such a strong accent. If he ever pronounced it, it'd come out like Ryence praebiydhjbbn.

I say 'shy-town'. Native Chicagoan. I'm trying to think if I've ever heard differently.

Wasn't there a rap song about Chi Town Wodies? I've always heard it Shy town

I thought about it.. Ok "sand" is easy. But "wich?"
There's Greenwich, and Norwich. And so 'wich' must mean something.

And I realized I think they're all pronounced differently.
Gren-ich
Norwich is "nor-wick" right
And sandwich. That's easy.

So do I have norwich right?

I fully expect "cool story bro," but it bothered me that the three towns are all pronounced differently......

No. "Norrich."

Sometimes an Irish first name or an African last name might give me pause, but I usually get there.
