Well, Geoffrey Grigson lists 98 names (if I have counted right), some of them not to be repeated on a family site.  The one I like most is "Kitty-come-down-the lane-jump-up-and-kiss-me", from Kent. Red-hot Poker is listed as a Somerset name.

Forgive my ignorance but what are" Sucky Calves",this listed as another name for Arum maculatum,perhaps it would be best not to know? |

henrya | Thanks for the info thunder, all the old foresters call it by that name around these parts so guess it is also a Hampshire name or maybe just unique to the forest area, maybe the Somerset people adopted it from us yokels.
