Versailles sounds like Cairo (pronounced KAY-ROW) GA.
Sometimes the alterations are intentional. I have a friend who is originally from Berlin, MA. The locals pronounce it BURR-lynn (emphasis on the first syllable) so as not to be confused with that German city. No one would confuse Berlin, MA with Berlin, Germany - believe me ... I've spent time in both (before and after 10/89).
