Puzzles and Brain Teasers Question

A phone conversation:

"May I speak to the director?"
"Who's calling?"
"John Rominch."
"I beg your pardon. Could you spell your last name?"
"R as in Rome, O as in Oslo, M as in Madrid, I as in Insbruck..."
"I as in what?"
"Insbruck."
"Thanks. Please go ahead."
"N as in Nome..."
This does not make any sense. Why?

I'll give it a go:
Rome is in Italy, which is in Europe.
Oslo is in Norway, which is in Europe.
Madrid is in Spain, which is in Europe.
Insbruck is in Austria, which is in Europe.
Nome is in Alaska, which is in the United States, which is in North America.
So, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, North America.
