Station names that have an amusing Spoonerism

[Rescars]

Was William Spooner of Oxford related to James Spooner (or perhaps Spames Jooner) who built the narrow gauge route to Ffaenau Blestiniog?

A friend of mine (now deceased) would routinely exchange the English suffix "Ford" with the German "Dorf" (village) and vice versa. Hence Hungerford became Hungerdorf, and Dittersdorf became Dittersford.

It's closer to a game than to railway trivia, we think! PM me if you disagree.
