Re: Gloriana
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I can't see it on a real person at all. It's ugly with delusions of grandeur.
And I'm sure Jennifer (posted below) is right and it was a nn for Elizabeth the First. One of the Elizabeth queens, anyway.
The nn Glory seems awful too. I got a vague memory of people saying "glory-hole" and sniggering, which is probably where that feeling comes from.
If I was unlucky enough to be called Gloriana I'd probably go by Rhian and never admit what my name really was ;)
