I was livid to hear that The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton (a much-loved book when I was about six) has been interfered with. They've changed the characters' names from Dick and Fanny to Rick and Frannie!

Ans Titty became Tatty in Swallows and Amazons.

Am I right in thinking that in USA, 'fanny' merely means one's backside? It has a slightly different meaning here.
