slithy,

I know I've posted these before, but you (and many others) were not here yet so I'll do it again. Newfoundland has lots of Anglicized names, many of them from French. One funny thing about is that often, the old spelling still survives. Some of my faves:

(spelled) Bay D'espoir (said) Bay Despair
(spelled) Pouch Cove (said) Pooch Cove
(spelled) Baie Verte (said) Bay Vurt
(spelled) Port Aux Basques (said) Port-uh-Bask
(spelled) Rencontre East (said) RONcontrEEST
(original spelling) Toulinguet (now spelled and pronounced) Twilingate
