Option 1. My friend who is going to a liberal arts school up there was making fun of the way I pronounce the word.

I also pronounce Florida as Flarda Tongue.

The way I've heard people from Oregon pronounce it.

I associate Flah-ri-duh with old Jewish transplants.

It's similar to organ but there's definitely a subtle middle syllable in there.

That's how I pronounce it as well, which I think is somewhere between options 2 and 3.
