Good old AZ classics:

Asoka = Osaka
Qin = Chin
Joao = Jay-oh
Mansa = Mr Tech Wh***
Mehmed = Muh-med
Shwedagon Paya = Shwegady Pagady
Moai Statues = Moy Statues
Chichen Itza = Chicken Pizza
not to forget Mausoleum of Mausollos = Muh-lalala

Gets even crazier with the city names. Don't ask me why I find that so funny

 

[civfanchambers]

Not really a funny name but I know alot of people have a hard time pronouncing Joao. Joao is Portuguese for John. So I simply call him John. Also there is the Viking city Roskidle. I call Roskidle = Rockslide.

 

[elmurcis]

Ragnar after some crazy 16 units ambhibious attack from 3-move Galleys got nickname: Oh-no!

 

[AcaMetis]

Angkor Wat = Angkor what!? (emphasis mandatory)
Mausoleum of Mausollos = MoM
Shwedagon Paya = Sweggy
Saladin = Sally

And of course the best one of them all, uMgungundlovu = *muffled gibberish*

I say "PEHriculls," because I went to school and all that, and I'm rejecting my past. Well, a little.

Back about 400 years ago when I was younger, I asked my gym coach if it was OK that part of my 400m practice course was downhill, and he said "You learn to run fast by running fast."

I call Moai Statues MAO STATUES and on the offchance I singled out a city to build them in I put a sign saying as much on it. Especially funny if you actually do play Mao.
