Usually such names (Dunoon, Ewelme, Benson) are chosen by the builder/ developer, and referred to places that were significant to them for some reason. The best I can come up with is the Dorrell Brothers, who were responsible for the development on London Road either side of Taymount Rise. The also built the large houses in Ewelme Road (?29-39) in the early 1880s. Their family came from Slough, maybe 30 miles from Benson, so probably irrelevant.

As for Tannsfeld, that is claimed in one source to be a field name that first appeared in 1608.
