From "Chronicles of the Town & Church of Ulverston":
(a) The favourite Christian names in existence in Furness about a.d. 12oo were Bennet, Adam, Cudbert, Roger, Christopher, Rowland, and Robert. There is evidence which places this statement beyond dispute.
(b) Equally certain is it that in everyday life none of these were ever known as such. They were Ben, Atkin, Crud, Hodge, and Dodge, Chris (perhaps Case), Rawlin or Rowlin, and Robin or Dob.
(c) At this time (circa 12oo) surnames were becoming hereditary and as a large proportion of our patronymics are formed from baptismal names, every nick form or pet form then popular was a candidate for immortality.
(d) Hence Ben-son, Atkin-son, Crewd-son, or Crowd-son, Hodg-son, or Dodgshon, Cas-son (probably), Rawlin-son, or Rowling-son, and Dob-son, or Robin-son, are with us to-day, and represent some of the oldest families in Fumess.
