Talk:Hamble-le-Rice

Article title

What is the reason for chsnging this article title to 'Hamble-Le-Rice'?

Although that is the name given by the local parish council, it's not the common name in use by those who travel to the village. Pigeonshouse 14:24, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's the official name, it is what is used on all the signposts. Also it could otherwise be confused with the actual River Hamble.

Looks to me like a recent rebadging. On the 1870 map at Old Maps, Hamble is the village and Hamble Le Rice the parish (the latter appears to be still the case [1]). It's also Hamble on the old road maps I have to hand - 1927, 1963 and 1988 - and certainly plain Hamble is still in common use [2]. Tearlach 13:58, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

As a resident of Hamble, I can tell you it was an unpopular move by the parish council a few years ago to make it sound a bit more upmarket - because "It's what it used to be called". In that case, I think the parish council should refer to London as "Londinium", since that's what it used to be called... Stupid...

As a resident of Hamble-le-Rice, I quite like it ;) Fact is, it's the official name of the village, and WP should only be interested in reporting the facts fo the matter. I've added a reference to previous names of the village for completeness. Srpnor 08:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

As an ex resident I am glad I moved away before it was re-badged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.132.75 (talk) 10:50, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Parish?

In which parish? 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:3DCD:90C:725A:94CA (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@2602:304:CDA6:51B0:3DCD:90C:725A:94CA and 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:3DCD:90C:725A:94CA: Good point. Hamble-le-Rice is a civil parish in its own right; I've now added that to the lead. WaggersTALK 14:15, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
