They pronounced it Paer-um or Pear-m. She wanted it said par(like golf)-hem

She and google maps are both wrong.

I also pronounce it “pear-m”, but I still don’t understand this customers preferred pronunciation. If you’re going to use a long ‘a’ in the first half, why do you get to clip it to a short ‘a’ on the back end? I feel like they should be pronouncing their name par(like golf)-ham(like bacon).
