Those with keen memories might recall we had the exact same problem when needing to come up with a name for our "I" release corresponding to the Hong Kong summit, and eventually settled on a local street which had an English name (Ice House Street). We wanted a Chinese place name, but as noted there were none in Pinyin starting with an "I" vowel. -- Jeremy Stanley
