Hi, my name is Ina and I live in California. I recently learned that there is a town with my name in Illinois. I was just wondering, how do the folks in Ina, Illinois pronounce the name of their town? My name rhymes with China, but many people I've come across pronounce it so that it rhymes with Tina.

Ina ,llinois was named after the daughter of the president of the railroad company that was built through southern Illinois. The town of Bonnie was named aftr the daughter of the owners of the railroad company.
Another story has the town of Ina named after the daughter of the man that donated the land for the raillroad. |
