    I have a friend whose surname is Fletcher. I learned recently that's just an arrow maker. That said I've seen in other regions people are named for what time and location they are born and by gender.

    Is it Swinyard, Swinerd, Hogg, Hogge, Seward, Sweatman, Schweinhardt, Schweiger, Schweinsteige, Dausch, Purcell, or MacUalraig? Apparently there's a lot of surnames for a pig farmer.

    A lot including at least one more. And you know I'm not gonna tell, even if you guess it. But you haven't even used the same first letter yet.
