Cholmondeley
Cholmondeley is the name of a masculine character in a book I'm reading. I know that it is an English name and according to Wikipedia it is "the word in the English language with the most silent and/or superfluous letters. The silent letters are, in order, 'l', 'o', 'n', 'd', 'e', and 'e' again. The first 'o' is not silent, but is pronounced as a 'u'." So apparently it's is pronounced like Chumly.
Cholmondeley seems to be more of a surname but if anyone has an information about Cholmondeley, it's meaning in particular, and it's use as a forename it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Laurie :)
