Re: Additional Info About Girl Name, Jubilee...
in reply to a message by LMS
-- Before you suggested that it relates to the year of jubilee, I, as a Christian, have only heard it in reference to "shout of joy." --So, why didn't you bring each of these to the fore (in consecutive paragraphs)? The casual reader will not pull these ideas out of the article as it is presently written, with all of its cousin etymologies.

It's not like this is going to be an official encyclopedia entry, or the one authoritative reference. It's not really necessary for her to explain any further, exactly why she didn't choose to copy your entry exactly. It would be nice if you'd just accept it as it is. She merged the information you added adequately. If the name ends up in the main database, you can and should contribute your comments on it, and they'll be linked to the name for anyone who is interested.

Thanks for weighing in. It just seems that this entry is more ambiguous than the other articles I have seen here.
