Can anyone find anything on the origin of the name "Wye"? There are other Welsh rivers ending in -wy, such as the Conwy, Banwy and Vyrnwy. ML 24.11.06.

This page states that the River Wye is the sixth longest river in the UK but Rivers of Great Britain that the link goes to states it is the fifth longest; anyone know which is correct? - Carlwev 03:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

List of rivers of the United Kingdom has recently been updated to remove River Aire from 4th position. I have updated the Wye to reflect this. External verification would be good. Finavon 19:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
