Woburn: WOO-burn (I dont know why)
You might want to ask P.G. Wodehouse (pronounced "Woodhouse"). A lot of these names are older than modern English, and the pronunciations didn't change (or changed differently) as common words became more standardized in pronunciation.

Ah! I always thought it was pronounced like it was spelled, WOAD-house...almost like if Elmer Fudd decided to sing a Doors classic: Woadhouse Blues :)
