Re: the female name: Vedette
in reply to a message by Darla
I am reading a book now that has a reference to Vedetta. I think it is a mountainous region in Italy, also a German ship during World War II was named Vedetta. The "e" at the end of a German name/word is sometimes pronounced "a". In the book I am reading it refers to either a battle or a ski hill, it's not clear. The name is engraved on a pair of soldiers downhill skis in the book. Maybe it's an Italian/German hybrid of a name. Good luck

Very close to "vendetta", which is Italian for revenge, vengeance, or something similar. I always thought "Vendetta" would be a great name for a crack ho'...(Hugh Grant or Charlie Sheen may be able to tell us if it's already in use.) : )
