Examples of letters that are interchanged or switched in the spelling of medieval English names.

The phrases "beginning of name" and "end of name" here include not just the initial/final letter of the name, but also the intial/final syllable, and the full prefix or suffix of the name. The phrase "middle of name" refers to the part of the name that is not clearly part of a prefix or suffix.

Three examples of each are given because, according to SENA PN.1.B.2.b. Constructed Name Phrases, "We generally require at least three examples to consider something a pattern..." [But notice the "at least"...]
