Many thanks. That was a good antidote to current semi-bitterness caused by a Japanese assignment and a quiz today and two assignments tomorrow and a chapter test the next day, and the white stuff in the air I refused to acknowledge today, and the fact that spring break can't get here soon enough.
But really. Does awareness of the linguistic meaning of a name in any way lessen or eliminate the built-up social meaning? It's just another layer. Increased heterotopia. ^_^
<pause>
I think I'm going to have to start inventing meanings for "Alyc" now. A la Darlene's story. Only with more wackiness.
Or maybe that's just the "I DON'T WANT TO DO MY JAPANESE!!!!!" talking.
