When I was a kid they would put the name of football team West Bromwich Albion on TV as West Brom Albion, yet the presenter still said West Bromwich Albion. I, naively, assumed Albion was pronounced idge-albion [I was a kid] and naturally thought that Brighton and Hove Albion was pronounced Brighton and Hove idge-albion.
