Louisville, Kentucky is neither "Louie-ville" nor "Louis-ville".
It is "Lou-a-vul"

The city/palace of Versailles in France is "ver-sai" (or thereabouts). The town in Indiana is "ver-sales"

And would someone please explain how Brett Favre's surname came to be pronounced "farv"? (shouldn't the r and the v swap places?)
