When in Frome, do as the Fromans do

The name Frome comes from the Brittonic word frāmā (Modern Welsh ffraw) meaning fair, fine or brisk and describing the flow of the River Frome. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frome

 

Frome is pronounced Froom as in "Flume, room or loom" but not "Rome, dome or gnome". Frome tops list of most difficult to pronounce place names in the UK, (especially American tourists). www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-49813249
