Some years ago I started a page on meteorite pronunciations. The
only ones I did were L'aigle and Orgueil.

http://www.pibburns.com/catastro/metprono.htm

I believe one of our list members from Poland put up a page with
Polish pronunciations, and someone else presented a page with some
other French meteorites.

There are some U.S. meteorites that would benefit from having their
pronunciations presented too: Willamette and Saint Augustine, Benld, etc.

This might be a worthy project for the IMCA to sponsor. An IMCA page
of meteorite pronunciations would be a useful resource.
