Forget Quisqueya, the Dominican Republic, the DR or even the dreaded 'the Dominican'. My niece, 'M', not yet three, visited us a couple of months ago and has since renamed this fair country.
My sister sent me this e-mail about their family holiday this Easter to a hotel in Spain.

We had such a laugh at M's expense as she thought that we were going to the Minican Republic. In hindsight I suppose she assumed we would be going to DR when we told her we were going on a little holiday... When we passed the airport on the way... she enquired after the plane, when we got there she said a few times that we were in the Minican Republic and on the first morning she asked [her sister] where [Mr C, Chirimoya and Chirimoyito] were. When we finally convinced her that she was not in the DR she said she wanted to go to the other Minican Republic as this was a funny Minican Republic.
