I've lived in Reading for some years, and I've never heard anyone suggest a derivation for the name of the River Kennet from cunt. Unsurprisingly given the age of most of them, it is also not in any local history book I can lay my hands on. I have requested Ashley Y to quote a source for his contribution. -- Chris j wood 14:47, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
