    I got 5, but another 2 seemed too obvious, so I thought it was a bluff  :D

    Not something any male would want, eh @BenCotto ;)

    3/7 for the 2nd one too.  :/
    I object to the sneck one though.That's commonly used up here for door latch.
    Div as well. That was definitely a common term here in the 80s and 90s.
    Maybe we've just appropriated that.
    I 'educated guessed' thurse. A lot of our place names are Norse, so I wondered if that connection was there.
