Thanks very much!

I have deleted the name:cy from Brighton and cited this thread,
following the example of whoever just did the same for Blackpool.

If it's sufficient that this mapper doesn't give a source (your Durham
example) then it would be easy to remove the ones I looked at. If we
give the benefit of the doubt to each case, it's more tricky.
Trellachar was easy because it gives zero hits anywhere else on the
internet. The others I looked at were less clear-cut. I found the
wikipedia page about exonyms interesting reading - a literal
translation is a recognised form, so without other grounds for doubt
it might need an impartial Welsh speaker.
