Bonneville is French for Good City
As always, when pronouncing Bonne in French the e is silent. Bonne and Bon mean the same thing yet one femniine and the other is masculine. Since both formats are single syllable, the masculine version puts the emphasis on the O whereas the feminine is on the NN.
So...there should be nothing between the nn and the ville, or Bonnville to the phonetically inclined
Cheers,
