HelpRe: Meadow (boy)
in reply to a message by Anneza
That's wonderful.
Yes - there is a "Lady" hidden inside Gladys. (smile)
When the name Guy occurred to me, I had to add Gal: I couldn't help myself: I began laughing to myself when the initial middle name to follow Meadow happened to be Brook (Brooke).
I thought of the Wonder Woman film star released about a year prior by the name of Gal. I wonder if there is a man with the name Gal or Girlie - as either a formal name or nickname - but not a sarcastic nickname.
Perhaps a similar alternative would be to add a letter 'm' to Adam. I know a guy whose first name is Marcel, but he uses his middle name as his first, but his middle name isn't Adam; it would be interesting if it were.
Most (postal) mail addressed to me (mostly from marketers that would not know me) address me as Ms. I much refer the Misses title, if one insists on using a title, that is. Honestly I prefer for people to call my by my first name / nickname.

As the wide world knows, South Africa has had a very dodgy record of race relations between the white minority, formerly dominant, and the black majority, now able to vote and take charge of their own lives. This demanded and still demands lots of hard thinking on both sides, of course.
One of the ways people cope is by laughing at themselves and each other, and for many years there has been a cartoon strip called Madam and Eve, in which the white home-owner (Madam) is clearly not nearly as beautiful, intelligent or quick-thinking as Eve, her domestic worker. It's hilarious, and helpful; and I like puns!
