Place names

Here we are in West Yorkshire and as I am exploring the place again, I have come across the following names on the maps of the area:
 
Slaughter Gap
Sleepy Lowe (in the middle of nowhere!)
Cat i' th' Well ... next to Caty Well Bridge which spans Caty Well Brook
Sentry Edge
Tom Tittiman
Bog Eggs Edge
Dick Ing
Foul Scout Wood
 
Now, I don't suppose they are the funniest names or the most unusual but they are odd ... unless and until one knows where they came from, that is.
