Greetings:

The same reaction to "Kilkenny" is no surprise. I learned that version of Geordie from Janice shortly before going over to Ireland nearly 20 years ago. I have since heard it several times, always here in the USA, most recntly by an Irish-American group in New York. I think people do understand the song, and the change from Bohenny to Kilkenny is both easy and obvious.
