1) Have you ever heard "Norfolk" (as in Virginia) pronounced by a native?

2) I seem to recall a Russian tennis player named "Maria Slutskaya". She's very pretty, but I never heard any derogatory allegations. I suppose the name may be related to the city.

Sorry ... conflating Irina Slutskaya (ice skater) and Maria Sharapova (tennis player).

Muddy Waters was born in Rolling Fork (I've been there).

Norfolk

I believe standard British pronunciation is also the unpronouncable one, with silent L.
