Llamedos: A popular British house name

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.
