I LOVE this, and though I love all Germanic names - but the Heritage on this one renders it among my favorites.
I posted this last February
Probably approaching five years ago or so (I am uncertain), I entered a Doughnut Shop in
April. A young lady behind the counter wore a name tag that read "
Bruna".
Not only did I comment, but I could scarcely contain my enthusiasm, because on that very Day the Metropolitan Opera would play, enact, and broadcast Die Walküre - with Wagner's legendary
Brunhild. (Yeah, I'm a geek.) The very occasion would permeate the day with reverence. I explained the name - the meaning of her heritage and she grew excited--yet while doing so, I could scarcely contain my own. I entered the doughnut shop a few weeks later, and, little short of the entire front staff smiled softly either "at me" or "toward me".
