Helphad to do a double take ...

When I saw Humberga, to make sure it wasn't Hamburger or Humdinger.
Was Anonyma a real name, or was it something like a placeholder, like Jane Doe or Anonymous?
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I’m not sure regarding Anonyma. At least one was a nun, so it might have been one of those ecclesiastical assumed names; but with medieval names not much surprises me!
No, I don’t think so - there were two women named Anonyma plus a half-dozen or so men named Anonymus. It wouldn’t be the strangest medieval name I’ve seen!
It seems kinda mystical.
