The_Chieftain: I am indeed unsure. Hence I asked the poster if he was sure. I did not tell him he was wrong because his position did not match with what I had been led to believe.   He made a fair observation that there seems to be a lack of period documentation to support the naming. I have up until now taken it for granted that the naming was as reputation suggests, but now he brings it up, he's got a point. I don't recall anything from the time which uses the names either. As a result, I am certainly willing to change my position on it to being an apparent myth absent proof to the contrary.
