[Edward Catmur]

Ah, good to know. Google doesn't show the same for everyone, so it's not a
particularly good reference. Wiktionary has some useful information, and
I'm fairly sure it'll show the same for anyone who reads it (as long as it
hasn't been vandalized recently, but we know all about that):

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dyke
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dike

Interestingly, both meanings of "dyke" show up under "dike" (plus a third
that I wasn't aware of). So anyone intending to bowlderize our place names
would need to change "Dyke" to something else entirely.

Also, from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Dyke:

> According to the 2010 United States Census, Dyke is the 6704th most
common surname in the United States, belonging to 5037 individuals.

I wonder if they'll need to change their names as well...
