Llamedos: A popular British house name

29 March 2007 (11:21) News News Archives

 

Interestingly, but not significantly, 24dash.com reports a strange finding in research on the house names in Britain. According to the company records of Norwich Union, the name “Dun Roamin” cropped up one hundred times, an obvious word play. Just as popular was “Llamedos,” which puzzled researchers, though it is possibly a reference to the rainy country of Llamedos in Terry Pratchett’s Soul Music. Of course, we all know that’s the correct explanation.

Or it might be something spelled backwards. Possibly.

  "The man climbing out of your window in a stripy jumper, a mask, and a great hurry might merely be lost on the way to a fancy-dress party, and the man in the wig and robes at the focus of the courtroom might only be a transvestite who wandered in out of the rain. Snap judgments can be so unfair."
