Chrissie Waddle. Boutros Boutros Ghali.

And while we're on, is it possible to be UN Secretary General and to have an ordinary name?

Consider:

Sir Gladwyn Jebb
Trygve Halvden Lie
Dag Hammarskjold
U Thant
Kurt Waldheim [okay, not that odd]
Javier Perez de Cuellar[pompous, imo]
Boutros Boutros Ghali
Kofi Annan

Ban Ki-moon - South Korea
Jayantha Dhanapala - Sri Lanka
Prince Zeid al-Hussein - Jordan

Old Ban's favourite but surely if the aim is to give the world's newsreaders a headache Surakiart should walk it.

Mewn gorsafoedd mawr, rhowch wybod i’r Rheolwr/aig Gorsaf ar Ddyletswydd eich bod yno, os gwelwch yn dda. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod staff yr orsaf yn ymwybodol eich bod yn yr orsaf ac y gallant fynd rhagddynt gyda’u dyletswyddau heb bryderu ynglŷn â pham rydych chi yno. Mewn gorsafoedd llai, dylech sicrhau eich bod yn rhoi gwybod i aelod o staff yr orsaf am eich gweithgareddau. Efallai y byddwch angen tocyn platfform i gael mynediad i’r platfform.
