Re: Lily or Wendy? (QUESTION)
I love Gwendolyn, so Wendy, though I like Wendy / Gwen a great deal as well.I also love Grendel (Gren) - as well as Wren. I like Grendel & Wren (Wendel) for either gender.
___________________________________________________________________I posted this copy from last year on Wren. I love Wren for either gender. Your combo floats the boat.
Certain folios of Shakespeare's Pericles substitute "p'r'etty" for "petty"; yet Dionyza, the Character that decries the deed--no deed at all, this is figurative language, which the wrens descry is a villain or villainess - and attempts to belittle them while she cajoles her husband. The songbirds, despite their description, are noble. "Be one of those that thinks
The pretty wrens of Tharsus will fly hence,
And open this to Pericles. I do shame
To think of what a noble strain you are,
And of how coward a spirit."
