It is not like English is set in stone or even has an equivalent to Académie Française; which has a role in usages, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language.
People can pronounce words differently without it being wrong, plus naturally varies by different dialects of English.
An individual can have a claim on how their name is pronounced, but even the same spelling of names can have multiple pronunciations.
I am pretty sure everyone pronounces it Fen-Ten-Nall?

I've seen several documentaries that pronounce it -NALL vs. -NILL.
Oxford, Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com are all consistent in their pronunciation guides and examples. Fen-te-nil.
