Names

Yesterday I found an awesome French name website, and after tossing around a few ideas, here are the names of those things in the previous e-mail:

(drumroll please)...

My garbage disposal: Sheol (look back to Christmas post)

My bike: Aimeric (em-er-EEK), French version of a Nordic name, it means "home ruler"...which doesn't have anything to do with a bike. But I like it.

Plants:
Tall broad-leaved - Clara (as has been named for a while)
Many small-leaved plants that tend to spread - the Borg
(so yes, in one pot it is "Clara and the Borg)
Tall and spindly - Etienne (eh-tyEHNN) (French version of Stephanos, meaning "crown")

(it's really hard to write phonetically without phonetic symbols)

I may name my oven Beelzebub if it keeps acting up.
