Was listening to the Mark Kermode movie review podcast (It's a radio5 broadcast I think?), and he mentioned he was on the Isle of Man this week, Port Erin beach apparently.

Nobody would willingly change their name to Kermode - it sounds too much like commode. I'd sooner be a fairy than a commode........... ; ))

Frank Kermode (Eng professor) is on record that his name is only pronounced correctly on the Island - apparently no longer - the old manx prononciation was as kermod (at one time often spelled kermott) ie mod not mode and not like commode

Frank - sounds too much like rank.

They're not related, but as rumours go, that's a pretty good one to start. The best rumours are all lies.
