“messycans”

You aren’t from Texas or have never lived in Texas, right? The proper pronunciation is “Mescan”. ;-)

As a native Texan with two counties names after my family - Starr and Crane - I support your pronunciation remark. Though I'd have inserted a Z instead of S since most of their names contain the former.
