Help[Facts] Re: Attn:- Miranda
in reply to a message by BobbY Darin
Yes, I knew Lynn meant "lake" in Welsh, and that the given name ordinarily derives from the Welsh source. Another source could be the Old English element lin "flax", but I don't think that'd be common.
Lindo's an interesting name. I think it's also conceivable that it could derive from Old English lindi "snake" or linde/lind "lime tree" or the Germanic lind "serpent"/"dragon" or linde "soft"/"tender". I think Lindo would make a great masculine form of Linda today too.
The ancients sure liked their lin- elements, didn't they?
And you're welcome about the Trinity issue.
EDIT: Hit send too soon, forgot last sentence.

Hi, Miranda,
Thanks for the info. I find Welsh quite fascinating, especially in as much as how little it seems to have changed over the years.
I hear your a Janeway girl? I'm a Star Trek fan too, loved Patrick Stewart in the Captains chair, Brillant, Masterful, decisive, the ultimate dipolmat and representive. Now don't laugh but Bagpus is quite like him, a real kind of natural leader and thinker, however has considerable more hair!
He's actually living in at the hospital at the moment, just stays by Trinity day and night, i hate to say it but i'm not sure if she's going to make it....

I go through name phases where I concentrate on names in different cultures. I don't think I've had a really hard Welsh phase yet, but it could happen in the future. I'm currently mildly into Arabic names.
I think we should really move the rest of this to the Lounge, since it's so off-topic, but anyway...
Aw, I'm sorry about Trinity! I hope she makes it. I know she has the potential to, since my sister was born three months early and survived unscathed (aside from some minor speech delays and a bit of an odd personality... but then, my entire family borders on psycho anyway, so how can I really judge? :-p).
Me and my parents lived at the hospital for the majority of my first five years of life, so I know about living in the hospital too. It's hard, but good nurses, doctors, and social workers really help you through it all.
