Genevieve. What a beautiful name. It makes me think of Genevieve Bujold and (sorry) Jenny Agutter. Dang! There goes that pesky “entertaining impure thoughts” alarm again.
This so reminds me of my former mother-in-law, who added a “y” to ANY name. My preference to be called by my accurate name was not a factor. Run, Genevieve, run!!
Poor Genevieve…….thrown into the lair ’o the lunkheads. But with her obviously higher I.Q. and soldierly daring-do, she holds her own amidst the loathsome lot. Hear! HERE!!
This is the second day in a row that she’s given a “Find it” and forgotten to hide the shape. Yesterday she gave two and only hid one. Now she doesn’t have it again.
The discussion about the use of proper names reminds me of when I first arrived in san Diego as a brand-new Ensign—about six months after Richard Henry Dana was there, I believe. There was a—possibly apocryphal—story in the local paper about the Chamber of Commerce that was comprised of the Mayor, political leaders, business leaders, various generals and admirals plus the Catholic Bishop. They had a roster with their names, addresses, telephone numbers and nicknames. There were nicknames like “Rusty,” “Scooter,” and “Mike,” until you got to the Bishop. His nickname was “Your Excellency.”Just as an aside, the nickname of the Archbishop emeritus here is “Foots,” because he was a place kicker in college.
