[Opinions] Re: Vesna Gilbertine
in reply to a message by Bear
I do like Marna (though I'm not sure about the actress). Morna is also lovely, although the sound does remind me of the word mourning, which certainly gives it a darker quality. Ironic, since the page says it means festive! But it's good irony. The image of a Gilbertine zipping off to parts unknown is absolutely wonderful. Reminds me of Beryl Markham. Maybe they could be siblings, Beryl and Gilbertine. Or Beryl and Vesna for that matter. Thanks! :)

Virna Lisi
It was bothering me and I just looked up the actress. She was (is?) Virna Lisi. So there you go.
Oooh. Beryl Markham. Wonderful aviatrix associations if for no other reason than I love saying the word "aviatrix." Beryl and Gilbertine. Yeah, nice sibling set.
