Children invent all sorts of names for places that matter to them.\u00a0 Some of these are simple and descriptive (\u2018the climbing tree\u2019) \u2013 others can be exotic and adventurous (\u2018the South Pole\u2019).\u00a0 All of them are interesting but they are rarely written down and, amazingly, have never been systematically researched.\u00a0 This project, led by Dr Jeremy Burchardt<\/a> (P.H. Ditchfield Fellow at the Museum of English Rural Life<\/a>), aims to collect examples of children\u2019s invented place names.\u00a0 If you recall any place names you or your friends invented in childhood, please complete the short form below.<\/p>\n
