Rowland Hill in Punch

Fabulous James.

I learnt a new word today then : Charivari

Charivari (or shivaree or chivaree, also called "rough music") is the term for a French folk custom in which the community gave a noisy, discordant mock serenade, also pounding on pots and pans, at the home of newlyweds. The loud, public ritual evolved to a form of social coercion, for instance, to force an as-yet-unmarried couple to wed. This type of social custom arose independently in many rural village societies, for instance also in England, Italy, Wales or Germany, where it was part of the web of social practices by which the small communities enforced their standards.
The community used noisemaking and parades to demonstrate disapproval, most commonly of "unnatural" marriages and remarriages, such as a union between an older widower and much younger woman, or the too early re-marriage by a widow or widower. Villages also used charivari in cases of adulterous relationships, wife beaters, and unmarried mothers. In some cases, the community disapproved of any remarriage by older widows or widowers. Charivari is the original French word, and in Canada it is used by both English and French speakers. Chivaree became the common spelling in Ontario, Canada. In the United States, the term shivaree is more common.[1]
Members of a village would decide on a meeting place where everyone could plan what was to be done. Those who were to initiate the charivari used word-of-mouth to summon the largest possible crowd to participate, with women helping to organize and lead. After forming their plan, the charivari group would usually proceed by foot to the home of those they were acting against, making as much noise as possible with makeshift instruments and loud songs, and begin their assigned actions.

Some pertinent philatelic porcelain for your patient perusal.

As a nipper, I knew lots of "Rolands"
but Rowland never seemed right, never came off the tongue so smoothly,  the "W" always looked like an imposter,  so I looked it up

A Medieval Variant.
I like the US fading graph of the popularity of the name.

If only my children were so devoted to my cause!

Wow! what a neat toy !  

I put in my son's name (Cody)  it peaked the year he was born,  and has dropped off since,  which is extraordinary,
we didn't choose that name based on any then current trend, in fact at that time, I think we found it was a more popular female name.
