To be honest I'm not sure if I even bought the right book (I bough The Dog of the North) to my surprise the book is not about canines and has little or nothing to do with geography or topography. However, is does use some very funny words (yeah you know which ones) and names I have neither the intelligence nor the patience to bother attempting to pronounce correctly. Instead I simply use names I can remember.
For example:
When the [Croatians] had that battle at [Jethro Tull] against [Tablet PC's] army from [Middleofnowhere] I wasn't surprised when [Errand's] father [Darwin] (not the father of evolution-- the talking dolphin from Seaquest DSV) kicked some butt and occasionally took names.
