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 Patrick
