Help[Opinions] Re: Griselda
in reply to a message by Capucine
I don't think you can pinpoint a time when grey hair became a symbol for wisdom - I'd bet it's been a pan-cultural assocaition since time immemorial. Just because, especially in days of yore when people were not expected to live past forty, a grey-haired person would undoubtedly have seen a lot of things and amassed many experiences and therefore was regarded as being "wise".
Griseldis is AWESOME and so is Grizel, ohhh my gosh.

That's probably very true. (See what kind of stupid things I say/ask when I've only slept three hours at night? ;-) )
Anyway, I guess I'd love this grey part to mean wisdom because I've fallen for Líadan. Another name I'll probably never get to use, but hey, beautiful nonetheless.
If you like Griseldis, then how about Theolinde (she should be 25 by now I'd think)?
Bilhildis? Adelinde? (sweet old ladies I daren't ask their exact age ;-) )
Brunhilde (in her late 50s)?

Nahh it's not a stupid thing to wonder, I think things like that all the time, and I get obscene amounts of sleep!
Theolinde is soooo pretty, oh my god, I think I like it even more than Theodora! Bilhildis is adorable, ohh wow. Adelinde is the perfect name for a sweet old lady I think. And Brunhilde is close to my heart - my origianl 1980's cabbage patch doll came with the name Brunhilda Annabelle on her adoption certificate ;)
