Christian names centuries ago reveal limited variety
A fourteenth century survey of the county of Durham shows nearly half of men named John and about a quarter named Willem with Robert and Thomas adding to the total. Among women one third bore Alice or Agnex with Joan Margaret Tanvello Cecilia and Matilde. Mary Sarah and Ann were rare. Durban typifies England’s naming patterns then.

Speed and power in tennis shots across eras
An OCR fragment discusses tennis shot speeds, noting amateur and expert pace, with claims of 60 mph average and 199 mph peak notions. It mentions a Budapest exhibition where a fast shot injured P. J. Reilly, and ponders the speed of a penalty shot in football beating top keepers. The text is garbled with several quoted phrases and unclear attributions.
