Vivian... be thankful you don't have Orahood, which has also been spotted as Arahut, Arahud, Orchard (no kidding) Arrowood, Arach Arhut Orchar and others...and check this out: Orahood didn't exist before Alexander O in the 1700s...Arahut turns up all the time as an ancestor of Aragorn in Tolkien's Middle Earth and what do Arach and Orchard have in common with Orahood? Hmmmm I used to think the Germans had a problem, but you go try to figure out the Welsh!...Alexander, whatever nationality he was, married a Welsh woman...don't even get me started on her name!!!
