Welsh Nicknames by Les Chamberlain

How did Jones the Filth get his name and why was Dai Quiet Wedding so-called? Who were Jock the Bomb, Tommy Titanic, Herb Muck, and Sam Waterloo? The Welsh have always gone to great lengths to distinguish between their Joneses, Williamses, and Jenkinses, usually with nicknames connected to occupations, disfigurements, or place of birth. Les Chamberlain lives in Wrexham and has been collecting nicknames from all parts of Wales for more than 40 years.
