The awkward pause Paris, Ontario is not so well [known] as to provoke, yes. It seems an entirely practical usage.
With respect to accents, I was in England when I was 16 and retained far more of the Lanark County, Ontario accent than I now have. Someone there was trying to place my accent, asked me what county I was from, got told "Lanark" and then had a visible brain failure.
