Re: Bathilda
in reply to a message by Felie
There's a woman named Bathabile Lastname serving in the South African government - she's a Cabinet minister and very feisty! OK, it's pronounced more or less like bah-TAH-bee-lay but it's visually close to Bathilda.
I assume that the h in Bathilda is silent. As in Mathilda. In which case it strongly resembles Mathilda (or Matilda) as said by someone with a really bad head cold. And that's enough to put me right off.
