For the record, I'm fairly sure how to pronounce Neuburg but much less confident I'd get Neuchatel correct.

Especially when the circumflex has been left out so you have no reminder of how used to be written and pronounced.
États-Unis is quite respectful as it literally describes how the country wants to be considered: United States. It is only if you don’t find the term meaningful that way you would want someone to uncomprehendingly parrot the sounds.
