I always heard the capital of Cuba was "Havana." The letters b and v in Spanish having similar pronunciations. But it seems that capital is called "La Habana." I also found Cholmondely is pronounced in American English as "Chumlee."

Pre-revolutionary style persists in this portrait of Mrs. Cholmondeley wearing a fur-trimmed satin wrap, full skirt, and especially her coiffure.
