stackpool commented on the word stackpool elidyr
Aha Bilby: we meet again. I am indeed a Stackpool. We also write "Stackpool Elidor" in the old country (Wales is pretty old indeed). I intend to name my firstborn — male or female — "Elidor", which, as an educated kind of fellow, you will know is also the title of an Alan Garner novel that has its roots in the 12th century, about the same period as the Welsh prince Madoc supposedly discovered Alabama.
Salutations!

You're right, your username set me off on some Stackpool burrowing! There was a Stackpole who played cricket for Australia a while back and I had a hunch the names had the same origin.
I have read 'Elidor' and like Alan Garner very much, although I didn't immediately make the connection with Eildyr. Thanks for noting it!
