Hi, I put this stub up earlier today. Thanks to those who've made amendments. If anyone could help me clean this up I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Paul.

Etymology section

As is common with untrained 'sound-a-like' attempts at etymology, and worse so the wholesale adoption of nonsense gathered from most books of antiquarian wanderings, it may be quite helpful to point out that the first two etymological derivations state no authority, provide no linguistic basis and on the whole are unfounded. The third etymology is more secure, although could be balanced in the context of more recent toponymical analysis. If these points cannot be included then an alternative would be to categorise the first two derivations as 'typically antiquarian', so as not to misguide novice readers. 2A00:23C8:6684:C101:EC97:945A:C118:BA26 (talk) 02:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
