Potty, Fartwell and Knob: From Luke Warm to Minty Badger - Extraordinary But True Names of British People Book

Russell Ash has trawled parish registers and censuses going back 900 years to compile the first ever complete book of breathtakingly unlikely - but - true British names. It features an incredible and diverse range of totally genuine names evoking everything from body parts (Dick Brain) sex (Matilda Suckcock) illness (Barbaray Headache) and toilet functions (Peter Piddle) to food (Hazel Nutt) animals (Minty Badger) and places (Phila Delphia). Every single one has been checked for authenticity and its source is given as well as extra notes where further fascinating illumination is possible. The book provides a rigorously researched yet laugh-out-loud overview of Britain's eccentricity through the ages.Read More
