Following on from your post Diggindoris, another couple French names, in Sussex "Herstmonceux" so near Battle, I really like to think of them bowling over from Normandy and naming it there and then, well after they'd got the battle out of the way. Also in Sussex "Hurstpierpoint"
In Essex just down the road from where my husband comes from "Theydon Bois" the Bois has evolved into "Boys" over the centuries, but I still say Bois to which my husband tells me "that's wrong" and I just retaliate "no you're wrong" and on and on we go, till one of us gets fed up "Hainault" nearby which happily remains Hainault or possibly 'aynort, if like my late father in law "Hs" are there to be dropped
