ISTR it's not uncommon in Scotland though I can only think of
place name examples off the top of my head. Given the spelling and
pronunciation of my (German origin) surname, I have taken a

Row-zen-sh-teal, shirley?
Not in the UK. -steel here.
And '-stile' in America.
Not so. My brother, sister-in-law and nephew all live there. The North
