Once again, a timely writing (in an odd sort of way to me). My husband and I woke up this morning thinking about names and where they come from. I cited Nebuchadnezzar and Nadezhda, and then we started thinking about localities of names. I mentioned how it it is important to me to learn to recognize and pronounce Korean names - Hyunwoo, So-min, Eun-ji, Seolyeon, Juhea... (you get my drift). Then I said, "I wonder when people started naming themselves and where they got their names from?" We went through birds (Robin, Jay...), plants (Rose, Heather...), Insects (Bee, Mariposa, Nabi...), Herbs (Rosemary, Sage..), Animals (Coyote, ...). Names are fascinating.

Anyway, I loved your topic. Thanks.
