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. And in this
fully revised, expanded and enhanced paperback edition, it is no
exaggeration to say that it's Pottier, Fartier and Knobbier than
ever before.
