mexal: But here in America, we pronounce it incorrectly with 6 syllables. Unless you think San Diego should be 3 instead of 4 syllables (which I don't)

I don't think Ventura should be under 6 syllables. Yes, that's the official name, but if you go that route you have to count Los Angeles under like 25 or however long that monstrosity is. The city is almost universally called just "Ventura" these days.

Great quiz! I was highly disappointed to learn that some of my favorites like Truth or Consequences, NM and Dalworthington Gardens, TX actually have very tiny populations.
