Paris. It's also a city in Texas.
I see you and raise, Las Vegas, NM.
Cairo, IL (Population 1,505)
Pronounced kæro (K air o)
Comically, in Latin the æ would be pronounced with a sound like “ai” in “aisle,” so kæro would be pretty much the same as how you would expect to say Cairo.
(Fun fact, in Latin “Caesar” is pronounced very similarly to “Kaiser,” and is where the word “Kaiser” comes from.)
