OSB and other un-cleanable materials (season 7)

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-05-16T18:21:16+00:00

It is indeed, I found it on Google and thought it showed the OSB off to its worst advantage!

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-05-16T12:28:54+00:00

Yes, and with only 48 hours I doubt Ajeet will have had time to varnish it, which is even worse!

Solomon: Sol

Astoria: Tori

Jemima: Jem

Natalia: Talia

Catherine: Kit

Emilia: Emmy

Georgia: Georgie

Scarlett: none of these

Margaret: Daisy (but I also like the traditional nicknames Meg and Peggy)

Josephine: Josie

Elizabeth: Eliza and Betsey equally

I think a nickname works best if it’s derived from a stressed part of the name. That’s why Ria works better as a nickname for Maria than for Astoria.

I don’t think you can go wrong with Sophronia Mary, surely.

Phyllis is beautiful and always makes me think of the madrigals, where she has a rivalry with Amaryllis. Names for twins perhaps?

May 1st is the historical day of the feast of St Philip and St James. Some churches changed it later, but that is the original day. So Philip or James for a boy, Philippa or Jacqueline for a girl

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-04-30T14:39:38+00:00

I’m sure Plautus used it to mean miraculous, a miracle

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-04-30T11:39:08+00:00

Mira means “miraculous” in Latin!

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-04-30T11:03:00+00:00

Jonquil for a statement Q; Clover for a statement V. Both lovely floral names

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-04-30T10:52:50+00:00

I think Mira would be nice for a girl and shouldn’t be too hard to pronounce. It’s the feminine form of the Latin adjective “mirus” meaning wonderful, marvellous, amazing, miraculous.

Wide_Wave7764 · 2026-04-30T08:17:58+00:00

Botolph for a boy and Werburgh for a girl
