Jeez. I was born & raised near San Jose, (San Hose Ay), california; my mom's from Los Angeles (Loss Angle Ease) and I had this neighbor in the 1950s named Colin Powell(Cull In Powl)

I've heard somebody else say that the pronunciation (Loss Angle Ease) sounds affected--to me it sounds like my Grammy and how I tell someone's not a new transplant, but probably graduated from highschool in California before 1955.
