E-less Fiancé

[Yosemite]

Hi All,

A friend of mine from the Chicago area says that it's common in her circle to hear "fiancé" pronounced as if it rhymed with nuance. I'm from California, part of my family is southern and part midwestern, and I have heard that pronunciation in my life. How common is it? How correct is it?
