And how about the name Erramouspe?  I was in Bayonne last year (the only
part of Basque-land I could get to :-( ) and I found it in the phone book,
(with an accent on the last e) but have no idea where it comes from.

People there pronounced it E-ha-MOOS-puh, but you can imagine what it
got bludgeoned into in English.
