Born and raised in the northeast... New Jersey, but spent most of my life in Connecticut.
We always said PEE-can, which I admit sounds pretty awful. I'm trying to re-train myself to say puh-KAHN. :-)

Don’t forget Poydras or Farbourg Marigny
Whew.....old timers almost say Per Drass.....

In Mississippi we screw with Indian names from dead languages like the Natchèz or Biloxis idioms
Nobody knows the Natchez tribe language
The Biloxi on the gulf coast were an out post of Souix Language group and the farthest from their home in the northern Great Plains

... it is funny to watch the local newscasters, who are not from around here, mispronounce the names of local places. Many of them cannot pronounce any Spanish words correctly.
************************************
Same here in Texas! Several years ago, I recall a news reader on national TV referring to Waco as Whacko and I’ve seen others saying MeXia instead of Me-hey-a, et al.

I say pee-can like a real American says it. Puh-kahn sounds like how some pretentious Brit would say it. Just kidding.
