'I would like that… very much’ I assume we’re meant to take from that that that’s (read it again, it’ll make sense) how Much got his rather unusual name?
Oh, nice thought! That hadn't occurred to me. I love it though, very nice etymologising :D
that ‘last man’ thing, I don’t understand. How do you know that the last man really is the last man?
I forgot to mention the last man thing, oops. It's one of my favourite concepts (I think it sort of makes sense, in that any group of people tends to have a slow one at the back who lags behind), I do wish they'd kept it in the scripts later on! Will have to remember to mention it next week :)
Whenever I see the bit where Much puts Robin’s furs around his shoulders I always think of Mrs Miggins in Blackadder - ‘Ooh, it’s real cat, isn’t it?’
*rofl*
When did those guards get hold of Much? And without Robin noticing? Tsk.
I know! He doesn't look after him at all, does he? And then he doesn't do anything whatsoever to save him either.
Is it Allan, Will, Benedict then Luke in order of who is
( ... )
Oh, nice thought! That hadn't occurred to me. I love it though, very nice etymologising :D Hehe. Well, I always thought it's an odd sorta name so it must've come from somewhere... I thought that in 2x12 as well, when he's saying 'Much talks too much, eats too much, worries too much...'. And I like etymology.. when naming characters I often go here (hope that worked!) to find something suitable (did it for a couple of characters in s4 already ;) ) He doesn't look after him at all, does he? And then he doesn't do anything whatsoever to save him either. I know! After all Much does for Robin... and he knew what would happen to Much if he played up but he still went ahead. I think the last two are shot down simultaneously though I always thought that but there is a couple of seconds between them; I think Robin has both the arrows in his hand but fires them one after the other for those two. I love you :) Haha, because I'm so obsessive I actually did count?
Oh wow, thank you for that link! I adore etymology, so I'm now going to spend hours looking round that :D
I wonder whether Much has another given name, if Much is something he's been called later on because of his habits...
Aw, they don't have Much in that database. I guess the Much of the Robin Hood legend is the only attestation of it... I'd really like to know if it is hapax, but can't be bothered looking it up right now :)

You're welcome! It is really interesting isn't it, I use that site a lot. Not many people would be so thorough! hehe, well I knew it wasn't very long, but I wanted to know how not long it was!
It seems to be correct too, though slightly watered down. Well, this is based entirely on checking 'Philip' (it says 'friend of horses' as if it were a purely nominal compound, but really it's a verbal governing compound, 'lover of horses'), and 'Isabel' (which didn't have any alternative explanations and stuck to the Elizabeth one), so I wouldn't say I've given it much of a trial yet! And probably very few people care what kind of compound a Greek name is, but Greek onomastics is such a big part of what I do that I can't help mentioning it! *lol*
A measure of my childishness: I snorted at 'lover of horses'
My word, you know your stuff don't you? I suppose the site's more for people like me who just want a more general explanation of something so they can go 'ok, that'll do!' Saying that though you do come across some here and there that are quite long and detailed.
