Well done dave- I was nearly there with OYST but I never tried RON. In fact I didn't bother with any abbreviated names because I thought it could be a long job and I also felt that if they wanted a shortened male name the setter would have said male name as Ron etc coudl also be a boy's name

[Davemano]

Was toying with A(cra)rth for Kelster to ponder over////

[fiction-factory]

Ha. that's threequarters of a mollusc though not two thirds so she'd have spotted that wasn't right. Looking back i don't know why i didn't get Royston but I'm not from Yorkshire so the names don't jump out at me. I think some of these are pretty cryptic and I wouldn't be surprised if all those taking part (in what seems like a small local quiz where deadlines can be extended if all ask for it) found it tough and kelster ends up winning

[Davemano]

Agreed - I hadn't heard of Royston, I found it among villages and hamlets in Counties.
