      what about "jamon"? that would be cool.

      The latest variation is that at a taqueria this week my name was written down as Herman. (Which sounds pretty close when said in Spanish.)

      Oh well, maybe Eamonn's – A Dublin Chipper near DC will go national and people will learn how to spell my name.

      I'm sorry, I think that actually says Hannah, which I rather. I cant wait til I go over and they get a load of my name.

      Yep, I am afread to say that when they see it written down I think people here are likely to say something like MAY-reed or MOY-reed instead of ma-RAYD.
