Nah, I know about Derry/Londonderry. I would be scared having to do my job for a company based in there. There's a whole can of worms for that, especially if you use the wrong version of the name in front of the wrong person. And, again, especially if you've got an English accent.

Also, I find the Northern Irish accents the hardest to get a handle on when listening to them.

I often find some of the Irish and Scottish names a bit unpronouceable, and I often have the fear when trying to get names right on the phone. Especially if we move into more foreign ones.

Admittedly, my surname amounts to a misspelling of a common English surname. Some moron of an ancestor couldn't spell his own name.
