A friend who teaches in a midwestern school told me thay had a student who was named (sounds like) shi’-THAY-ad and (spelled) `Shithead’ This is not a person who normally pulls my leg so I’m inclined to believe it... Maybe I’m gullible?

'Athole' seems to be a proper British name (you can google it). The two should get together sometime and exchange anecdotes.

I read once that there was a governor of Massachusetts whose name was Peabody. Someone claimed there were three places in Massachusetts named for him—Peabody, Marblehead, and Athol.
