Simon was joking about the fact that this site spelled it with an apostrophe, making it look like it's an Irish name (like O'Connell).  People do that, sometimes; I'm not really sure why.  I used to work with a person of Japanese descent named Ogata, and some customer reps could never figure out that it wasn't O'Gata.

I did notice they capitalized Ada correctly.  On the other hand, they capitalized "Cobol" and "Javascript" the same way, incorrectly (should be COBOL and JavaScript), so perhaps the fact that they got Ada correct was an accident.
