Nah, that would be absurd. Why would anyone call their town Tyrone? Might as well can it Kevin.

Could be worse. Could have named a town Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. But I guess they only used that name once, so that’s something.

Edit: it’s decided. I’m going to learn to pronounce that word and name a town “New Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”.

The county is called Tyrone. Pronounced Tir-owen, anglicised from Tír Eoghain
