   Is there a linguistic reason for the first girl not being
   "Rebeccal", or is the inconsistency just for the sake of

I haven't yet plumbed the dpeths of the Bristolian lanuage but my guess is
that it depends on the number of syllables eg. Bristol was
Bristow and the l was added just as Norma is the name always used as the
example, obviously because of comic effect but maybe because
there are two syllables in the name. This double rythm might trigger the
l.Tri-sylllabic examples will be sought.
