The Romance of the London Directory by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

About names. Shorter than his other two works I've read and crossing much of the same grounds. His historical assertions often show the time written (19th century), and his claim that the common use of Robert was all derived from Robin Hood is -- implausible at best. (Much more likely that it was the common use that pulled in the outlaw as well, especially since he does, despite the author, appear to be unreal.)

But lots of discussion of names, both personal and surnames.
