This always drives me nuts about Fauquier County, VA. But we are forced to pronounce it the way they do.

I can be kind of prescriptivist about words, but a place is pronounced pretty much however the vast majority of people from that area pronounce it, regardless of what its origins are (don't know that applies to Sligo, but say, Des Plaines, IL or Lima, OH, for example).
Lima! My mom is from Lima! You too?

Well, your grammar is questionable. So perhaps we won't count your opinion.

Sly-go. My family lived on Sligo Ave. for almost 20 years. Unless newcomers changed it in recent years, it’s always been pronounced Sly-go, and everyone that I know who lives or works in the neighborhood continues to pronounce it Sly-go.
