Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It does amuse me at times to think about what they would make of me, their agnostic, feminist, bisexual many-times-great-granddaughter.
That you should be named Not!Prudent?
Or Satan?
Or maybe just burned at the stake. Because they were forgiving folk back in the day.
There IS no life after Puppycam, there is only Zool!
I'm not believing that until they set up ZoolCam.
I'm maybe glad most of my ancestry is swedish and irish for unembarrassing naming conventions ? We've got Astrid and Enid, Tresabel and Rose, and I like those names. A lot gets lost in immigration.
Honestly, were the unlikely to happen and I birth a girl, I'd love to name her after Tresabel. One of my cousin's kids carries her as a middle name. One of the most incredible compliments I've been given is that I remind my mom and one of her sisters of Tres (their mother.)
My family carries names like Deloris Delrio, Galileo, Herschel, Nonaine, Gilette, Olivine, Tekla, and many others I can't remember without consulting the family tree. My parents and their siblings don't go by their given names for a variety of reasons. My dad goes by his mother's maiden name as his first name, having ditched his given middle name and initialised his first name. My mother goes by her first name professionally, but her family calls her...well, basically a homonym of my father's chosen name. Not that his family calls him that--he gets called Moore because he has a brother that goes by Les.
I always think of your family when the name convo comes up, ita.
Herschel
No one in your family tree was named Herschel Opostrolier were they?
My family's names are fairly boring, except for one side, where I realized that there were at least three boys named Hermann Stern born within ten years of each other in a village of only 78 people.
Who's Opostrolier? Actually, the Herschel is Herschel Galileo--a lurking astronomy buff, I suppose.

Jamaicans be crazy.

Ha!
The most stunning (to me) of my family names is Catherinus. I know it's a great-grandfather - I think my father's father's father.
Off to bed. Name day in Natter was a fun day to have off.
