ArchivesMerula Silvia
I've just seen this combo, the name of the wife of actor Alec Guinness.
I love Silvia but Merula is weird - has anyone any thoughts on what it means? I see "Turdus Merula" (oh dear!) is the Latin name of the common blackbird.
There are a few girls called Merula on ancestry.com.
