Cortana or Captain Keyes also pronounces it "Reach" (like Buck) in the opening cutscene of Halo 1.
Was Cortana born on Reach?
Was Captain Keyes stationed on Reach for a large portion of his life?
Well this part on its own is very easy to answer.
Cortana is an artificial being, meaning that things out of her power can tamper with her. Most likely, what happened was that Cortana got some malicious code stuck in her, and because of that she had something like a virus which caused her to start mispronouncing words. We can't really ever confirm that anything Cortana says is true due to the nature of her construction.
As for Captain Keyes, when we first meet the man he's been on a ship for who knows how long, and had just endured an intense slip space jump when the Chief first talks to him. It's widely known that slip space jumps can often cause a short loss of mental agility. It's very likely that when he pronounced "Reach" he may have reverted to a childhood memory. A memory in which he was sharply reprimanded by his Russian teacher for mispronouncing the name of the motherland.
