Never feel embarrassed Fernando, the problem is just as common with place
names as well as with people's names.  We all get used to trying a few
common possibilities if we are not sure of the correct pronunciation but
some of the names in Scotland and especially many in Wales raise this
problem to new heights for mere English people like me!  We don't talk
about it quite as much as we do of the weather (!) but it's not far from
that sometimes!!

Cheers
