Puzzles, word games etc.

So I listen to NPR on the way home from work every Sunday and Will Shortz of the NY Times does a puzzle segment. The question this week (if you get it right you have a chance of being the guest player on the segment) is "Name a famous person (5 letter first name, 4 letter second name) whose first and last names begins with consonants and ends in vowels. Y isn't used. I got it fairly quickly after reading some news stories over recent days.

So here is the question I want to submit and see if it is challenging enough.

Name a three word international tourist destination that has one vowel and one consonant appearing in each part of its name.

 

So it's just three, two-letter words that are the name of this place?

 

No - it's a name and each part of the name includes one common vowel and one common consonant. (One of the reasons I posted this was I wanted to perfect the wording of the question - there have been some puzzles on there where they used a bad word choice that muddled what was being asked - like conflating CIVIC as a car "brand" with GMC. Civic is a make. (but I digress) .

 

Ho Lee Fuk?

 

GMC is a make. Civic is a model.

 

Ah. Your second explanation made it more clear to me than the first one.

 

Bang Ding Ow?

 

Golden Gate Bridge?

 

Ding, ding, ding on the Golden Gate Bridge - thanks for the feedback. And you're right about me mixing up "make" and "model."

 

Who was the famous person in the first post?

 

A little cheat because the first word is often abbreviated, but Saint Patrick’s Cathedral also words.

 

Slightly off topic, but the NYT Spelling Bee and Crossword have been essential to my quarantine well being.
