I say Neh-Vah-Duh.

Neh-Vadd-uh sounds too Yosemite Sam for my tastes.

It's pronounced "Nevada."

Enneeveeaydeeay, of course. And Lake Michigan is pronounced Lackee Mikheegun.

Well, having lived there for a number of years, the latter is the only correct way to pronounce it.

Everyone who lives here pronounces it Nehv-had-ah

Or more recently, Eastern California

I've used both but usually go with option 1.

The As in Nevada are pronounced like the As in Atlanta. Any other pronunciation is incorrect and lets us know you're not from here or you fail at assimilating.

I met FlyLeaf at my 82nd Airborne brother's college graduation party for his daughter. They (FlyLeaf and daughter) were friends, apparently from Baylor University down in Texas. They seemed to be good kids. They gave my friend's daughter a revolver as a graduation gift.

^^This is the answer. If you pronounce it with an "ah" sound in the middle, you're immediately outed as being from the East Coast (bad) or a transplant from Los Angeles (worse) and are as big a carpetbagger as Hillary Clinton. About as popular as a New Yorker who moves to Florida and tells them how they used to do things in New Yawk.

Nuh-vad-uh. But the street in Toledo is pronounced Nuh-vaid-uh.

Yup, exactly this.

I don't go to Worcester and tell the locals it's not pronounced "Wooster" so all you easterners need to stop saying it's pronounced Na-Vaahh-Dah because is sounds dumb when you say it that way.

Although I once ordered some car parts from England over the phone, showed up in the mail addressed to me in Las Vegas, Navarda

I think that dude with the funny accent was taking the piss outta me.

Not like Sean Hannity. He should be kicked in the teeth for pronouncing it like a fag and then again because he's a douchebag.
