Ash Hole Cavern → Ashhole Cavern – Historic England gives the name of this site as "Ashhole Cavern", one word. Possibly it was named by Sean Connery after someone he didn't like!

 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Searching reliable sources, GoogleNews gives zero hits for "Ash Hole Cavern" and zero hits for "Ashhole Cavern".
 * Oppose. Of the three sources actually cited, two prefer Ash Hole, and this seems to be borne out by BHG's Google Books search (though I have not trawled the results for apparent reliability levels; it's the job of a RM nominator making a COMMONNAME case to provide evidence the proposed name is the most common one). I'm not certain Ashhole is normal British orthography anyway; wouldn't that be hyphenated for clarity?  Then again, there is Dumfriesshire, so maybe not.  I did enjoy the Connery Joke, though.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  06:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
