First, you're really, really fast. I bow down in awe of your fastness.
Second, you win there. (Though, my mam's maidan name was Delahoussaye, like the jockey, but we're not related.)I was referring to the fact that my given name is Amaranth Dymphyna.
If it only were Dymphna, you'd have one hell of a name there :D It's funny you say that. It was *supposed* to have been Dymphna, but my da misspelled it when the nurse asked him. (He was raised Lutheran; he didn't know any better.) My mam was a little angry, but she pronounces it the same and knows what it's supposed to mean.
I'm surprised by how many people like Amaranth. I suppose it's because they didn't have to struggle with spelling it in kindergarten. Most people call me Amy; the 'rents call me "Ama," though, and sometimes my grandparents call me Aimee.
