Maybe the'yre saying Fedvul, but you're hearing Fayetteville because you know that's what they're saying, since you were born and raised there.

Lol no. I know what you’re talking about, that some people say Fedvul, but again as someone from there I’m telling you that is only the most southern people, not most people. If you went to one of the more rural counties, then sure yes I bet a bunch of people say Fedvul. Wake county where I’m from, no. We say Fayetteville w 3 syllables, not Fedvul - I do know a few people that say Fedvul but it’s older very very southern folks, not the norm
