Everyone in Ireland will probably be replying to this topic shortly, but here goes - there is a town in West Kerry, Ireland, which until recently was called Dingle, which is a corruption of the Irish place name An Daingean Ui Chuis, meaning Fort of the Husseys or Fort of the O Cuis. It is referred to as "An Daingean" on signs etc., but the name change has been hugely controversial given the dependence on tourism in the area and long established usage of "Dingle".
