In my world, Aunt (i.e. "Ant") does not rhyme with Ashmant (I mean Ashmont.).

I was attending a business meeting in the South years ago with my boss, a Boston native like myself. He used the word "can't" (rythmes with Ashmont) in a presentation. The assembled Southerners giggled because they thought he was making a rude reference to a female body part.

The kidlet doesn't have a Boston accent, despite being Boston born and bred. Except when discussing one of her uncles' wives.

They'd be wrong because that's a different pronunciation all together.

I grew up in Boston. I alternate between Ant and Ah-nt, but I've never heard anyone from Boston rhyme the word with Ashmont (rhymes with daunt, font, gaunt).
