Actually that would be “Ma hay ah”.
That’s the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced.

Here in Maryland we have a town named “Accident.” Got some press a few years back when they were looking for a resident physician, as they had none.

On another note. I have cousin who just named his newborn son Brazos Michael for the river near Waco. He is a Navy Chaplin in Afghanistan, so he gets a pass.

I always heard that Mexia, Tx. was pronounced “Dairy Queen”.I think you may be thinking of Anna Nichol Smith. She did some time in Mexia in her blooming years.

So that is how Andice got its name. Don't know about that, but the General Store there serves damned fine burgers and barbecue brisket sandwiches.

Dime Box is my hometown!
Nearby, there is a North Zulch, TX, but no South Zulch.
