A serendipitous find: the Wikipedia page on the place name 'Fawley'.
There is a Fawley in Berkshire, another in Buckinghamshire, a third in Hampshire and a fourth in Herefordshire. In each instance, the 'Faw' part of the place name has a different origin/etymology.
Well, I thought it was interesting.
