Re: Myrtle Celestina
Sounds like a character in a 1930s novel. I had a colleague once whose sister was Myrtle; my colleague was worried about her because she didn't seem to know what to do with her life, and always called her Myrt-the-poor-wee-lamb, all one word or close to it. We accepted this, until one day we met her and found that she was a six-footer if she was an inch. (She worked as a crane driver for a while, and then became a nurse.)I don't enjoy names with an -er- sound. Celestina improves it!
