I think it's kind of like leghorn. Over the years people have just ended up pronouncing it has "leggern".

I believe it's those old farmers that got lazy in their speech and kind of slurred things together .

No offense meant to any old farmers out there, that's just the way things have ended up. You can get into the whole "creek" versus "crick" or the old "hollow" versus "holler". It's a matter of what people have grown up hearing and ending up prounouncing it that way.

I know that I pronounce it either way ("why an dot" or "whine dot"). It just depends on how quickly I'm speaking.

Here in Texas I've heard it said, "whine-a-dot".
