Gogh man Gogh
Hate to be a party pooper and pour cold water on the fun - but the joke only works with the American pronounciation of the name! The rest of the world pronounces it 'Van Goff' and the Dutch proper pronounciation is practically impossible for anyone not Dutch - kind of gutteral, Van Kcchh kind of sound.
seeking McColl from Donegal and Greenock, McKay from Antrim and Greenock;
Whiteford from Ballycastle and Greenock; Tucker from Port Glasgow, and McGinty.
