Wolfram, Zephyrine

Wolfram is pretty cool, but the Mozartean allure draws me to Wolfgang. I do like Wolfram though--never heard it before.

Just a bit of trivia:

Did you know that Louis XVI of France's eldest sister was named Marie-Zéphyrine (1750–55)?

Marie-Zéphyrine is very pretty, and a cool reference. But for the feminine I prefer Zephyra, which I prn very similarly to Sapphira.

And a side note: my son informs me there is another homonym (*LOL*) for these, Xaphira, a character in The Scions of Arrabar trilogy by Thomas Reid. Fun. :-)

Marie-Zephyrine!

Neat-o, cool-o! No, I didn't know about Marie-Zephyrine. That must have been controversial back then. Then again, when you are ruler of all you survey perhaps you don't care. Poor little thing, she only made it to 5 years of age. But thanks for the tid-bit.

I had to go back and check the spelling of the rose bush because I can never quite remember how to spell it. So now I see that it can be spelled either way.
