What a fantastic initiative! Colloquial place names truly capture the essence and character of a region. They often carry historical anecdotes and local culture that official names might overlook. I would love to contribute a couple of names I’ve encountered during my time in Berkshire. For instance, “The Dingle” refers to a lovely wooded area that locals adore but might not come up on a typical map. Additionally, I think it would be interesting to consider how these names evolve over time. Have you thought about incorporating a section that explores the stories behind these colloquial names? This could enrich the map even further and enhance community engagement. Looking forward to seeing the collaboration unfold!
