Meaning and origin of Shandon
Does anyone know the meaning and origin of the name Shandon? It is a male name that I have only seen once before. Please help if you have any ideas!

Shannon with a D, probably!
Some daft Brit wrote a poem about the river Shannon (19th century I imagine) and stuck a D into it - Shandon - so that he could rhyme it with the bells that sound so *grand on* the *land on* either side, or something equally odd. So maybe there's a link, or just great minds thinking alike ... !
