There are city names in the United Kingdom like "Stratford-upon-Avon" or "Newcastle upon Tyne". Then, I wonder: is there any general rule on how they should be written?
Case: In general, I see the second name is written in lowercase.
Dash: However, I wonder if a dash should or should not be written in between each pair of words.
Hence, what is more appropriate, if there is any standard?
- Name1-name2-Name3
- Name1 name2 Name3
More names I came across:
- Stoke-on-Trent
- Oldbury-on-Severn
- Wotton-under-Edge
- Wells-next-the-Sea
- Sutton-cum-Lound
- Southend-on-Sea
- Newbiggin-by-the-Sea
- Newport-On-Tay
in Geonames I could find more than a hundred.
