<<< My apprentice used to live in An Dubheaigainn says it is
pronounced, "Neitherdoowee".
Evidentally, once in a court the Herald got to the name and said, "I
don't know how to pronounce this."
to which the populace replied, "Neither do we!".

Thank you! I've got the story in the Florilegium placenames files, but
without the actual SCA name. It was dismissed as an urban legend when
I couldn't point to the specific group and people couldn't find it.
Okay, "Neitherdoowee" isn't from the official name, but is a nickname.

PS: And we wonder where some of the New World food names come from?
