    I, too, like Ireland and Israel.  I also like Estonia, Nauru, and we already have lots of Vincents and Marinos.

    I've known people with the surname "England". "Holland", too.

    In researching this question before posting it, I wondered why Holland didn't show up on the list of names of the world's countries, and I learned something new: Holland is the name of a part of The Netherlands, not the name of the entire country.  In times past, it was the name of the country, but no longer.
