How do you pronounce Hauppauge?

Hauppauge is a town in NY on Long Island. Hauppauge is pronounced HOP-HOG. The American Indians dubbed the area around the headwaters of the Nissequogue (NISS-I-QUOG) River Hauppauge; it means, ?overflowed land? in the Algonquian language. Hauppauge boasts a large industrial park, home of many well-known companies.

I feel so owned. I've always pronounced it Hawp.pidge

I was born not far from Hauppauge, and I can confirm that it is pronounced "hop-hog"

I used to pronounce it "hop page" but in Italy it sounds better... I don't think the shop assinstant would help me if I asked for an "hop hog" tv tuner
By the way, their tv tuner is really cool! I've been using it for almost an year now, fantastic

If you say Lawn Guyland, you're just a moron.

Hey I didn't say Strong Island... and I was just making fun of the accent here.

I lived in Lake Ronkonkoma (god that took a while to remember how to spell and pronounce) and I heard it pronounced with the second h as silent.

The town on Long Island is pronounced - Haw-Pog, not Hop Hog.

I can confirm this. I've had reason to speak with quite a few locals on the phone for my job, and I've never heard them pronounce it any other way.

I always think of it as Hot-Pot, or something sounds like that, so I concur with Don Rodriguez above.
