Earlier in this thread, I've been naughty and written of spelling-versus-pronunciation of places in the Irish Republic -- which strictly should belong in the "International" sub-forum. Having not got into trouble for that, I will -- being just back from a short visit to the Republic -- risk doing a little more.
The place concerned, is 20-ish km. west of Dublin, with a station on the Dublin -- Sligo line: Maynooth. (Location of Ireland's chief seminary for training for the Catholic priesthood -- plus nowadays, I gather, a flourishing secular university too.) Until a few days ago, I had seen the the name only in written / printed form -- never heard it said; and had mentally transliterated it as rhyming with "Pay Ruth". However -- hearing it over the public-address system at Dublin (Connolly) station -- I found the proper pronunciation, Irish and English forms alike, to be approximately "MUHN-noo".
