perhaps! its an interesting one

there are a lot of strange names that makes you wonder what they did! "cunningham" were they really cunning and stole ham? or did they cultivate cunning pigs?

or the 'cuming into ham' perhaps an old age fetish? pig fuckers

this could relate to the surname "wooly" as well" maybe the same thing but with sheep!

smith = blacksmiths
butcher = well at a guess i would have to say train driver..

but a lot of the names were also given to people in medieval times.. depending on what job they did around the town/manner/castle is what they had as a surname, usually getting shortened down too for todays modern man/woman

Mine's not in there

Most names for things/word have latin meanings to them or something something i'm speaking crap.

I don't know.

If i ever found a creature that no-one knew it'd be named after me, or the noise it makes. E.g. a Dog would be called a Woof
