Most definitely. I know Southampton well; I used to live there. I
now live in North Devon.

Hampshire was Southamptonshire, yes. I'm not sure quite what you mean
about Pompey being a county, but I'm guessing you mean unitary

The county town for Hants is Winchester, and has been for as long as I
can remember.
