In addition to the names already given, the following occur to my mind:—
| Spelling. | Pronunciation. |
| Alwalton, Hunts | Allerton |
| Caldicott, Hunts | Cawcott |
| Overton, Hunts | Orton |
| Brewood, Staffordshire | Brood |
| Chaddesley, Worcestershire | Chaggeley. |
In connexion with this inquiry, would it not be interesting to make out a list of proper names of individuals, the pronunciation of which is different from the spelling; and, if possible, to trace (for example) how Trevelyan and St. John became Trevethlan and Sinjin, and the high-sounding Cholmondeley sank, in the bathos of pronunciation, to plain Chumley?
