      Me neither. If someone here in Germany started saying Lisboa or Barcelona I would be thrown off and, very honestly, also find it a tiny bit pretentious.

      Edit: throwing in the question how to pronounce towns that are on a border and have both kinds of pronunciations used by inhabitants

      Bratislava instead of Pressburg, Ljubljana instead of Laibach, Zagreb instead of Agram.

      Lwiw/Lemberg or Brno/Brünn is probably both used.

      Prag and Warschau as well as Krakau are firmly used instead of the local ones.
