We're finally back with part two of the names from Jane Austen's Emma. Today we'll explore the histories and meanings behind the names of 3 male characters: Mr. Knightley, Frank Churchill, and Mr. Elton.

Prepare for my unfiltered opinion on how much Frank and Mr. Elton suck!

Special appearance by our old friend the Domesday Book!
