HelpRe: Zephyr
in reply to a message by -=A=-
Zephyr feels too juvenile for me. But I'm in love with a feminine variant Zephirine.
I bought climbing roses named "Zephirine Drouhin." (They are a gorgeous cherry pink that does well on a northern facing wall.) What do you think of Zephirine?
Wolfgang is fun, but also suffers from a slightly *too* youthful feeling for me. What about Wolfram? It has a slightly more sophisticated sound to me. Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote medieval variants of the Tales of the Round Table. I fell in love with his name at once. I love Wolfe too, after Wolfe Tone.

Marie-Zephyrine!
Neat-o, cool-o! No, I didn't know about Marie-Zephyrine. That must have been controversial back then. Then again, when you are ruler of all you survey perhaps you don't care. Poor little thing, she only made it to 5 years of age. But thanks for the tid-bit.
I had to go back and check the spelling of the rose bush because I can never quite remember how to spell it. So now I see that it can be spelled either way.
