When I worked in a bank, many years ago, one of our customers was called Carey Hunt. Fine if you say it correctly but!!!!!

Not really appropriate for this forum.

Oh dear, softly softly. Paul's post was to show us how our minds can work. I think that you have proved his point for him.

Not a personal name but a place name: in Sussex there's a village called Halnaker. In many medieval and early modern records it's called Halfnaked.

Must admit, I don't get it either. But in view of comments by those who do, perhaps just as well!

I've definitely led a sheltered life ,as I've never heard of it and judging by some comments I don't think I want to know.   ;)
