[Opinions] A boy named Avila+
in reply to a message by Siri
I have a friend whose son has Avila for one of his middle names. He was born, appalingly premature, on the feast-day of Saint Theresa of Avila..and his mother said she didn't want to call his Theresa.:)
(he survived and is fine now, though spoiled.)

Phew!I was born on May 30th, Joan of Arc's day.It had crossed my mind that I could have been named Joan (and I did have an aunt Joan.) I suppose if my parents had been more modern and I had been a boy, I could have been named Arc?What alternatives did you parents have? (Hunger is getting to me. My lunch date is late.)

I'd have been Martha! Martha Rae?

Albert of Trapini is the saint honoured on my birthday. So I suppose I could have been Alberta.On the whole, am glad to have missed that!
