I have to admit that I would love to be trailing you during your travels down in NZ, listening in to how my Kiwi brethren are dealing with your name...we (Aussies and Kiwis) speak the same language but I sometimes still think an interpreter would be handy for me, let alone when they are trying to get their tongue around a Finnish name!

In my experience, the letter 'i' is particularly difficult for them to say and for me to understand.
