Tonight, my lovely bringer-of-distraction was my newly pregnant friend, Jennifer. While I was all cozy getting ready to watch a movie & knit until my heart was content, I got a very unexpected phone call from said friend...thus leading to my distraction.
Now, being the type of friend that my dear Jen is, one cannot multitask too much while talking with her on the phone because she will surely give a pop-quiz...so, one must stay fully involved in the conversation in order to pass with flying colors. That being said, the conversation soon took a turn into baby name country & the rest (of my evening...hehehe) was history! Jen is seriously considering a Biblical baby name...however, the names must also sound just as good or better when pronounced with a Hispanic accent...since my dear friend is Puerto Rican & her husband Mexican, the Spanish definitely flies when they are around.
So, for the last 2 hours, I have looked through every Biblical name there is...and found quite a few that she liked. One of my favorite finds was the meaning of the name Erastus - which just happens to be the first name of my great-great-grand-father on my mother's side - and which I affectionately named a wooden mallard duck given to me by a good friend - this odd sounding name actually means: Beloved...imagine that!
While my friend's distraction was certainly welcomed, it was even more interesting to find the meaning of a family name...both of my great-great-grand-father & my duck!
Night all!
