Hi Aileeen, I suspect you are looking for a gradual name change from Peche to PEGG. It really is necessary to work backwards here, and not forwards from a debatable and vague possibility. I have not been doing any research for a while now but will resume shortly and if I can add anything further to the PEGG history I will let you know. Best wishes, David Fisher.
