Years ago, when the daughter was 3,the Boy asked about a slightly odd pub name (the Hurt Arms in fact).. I explained about where pub names come from. Daughter stayed very quiet .. then when I'd finished piped up "I know some pub names Daddy... the Flying Snail.. the Tree Snail... the Ground Snail.. the Flat Horse and Slug"

I don't know why gastropods figured so strongly, but I've never come across a better name than that last one.
