Re: Laverne
Laverne? Icky pooh. The male name Verne (ick) with a tacky "La-" thrown in front of it. I don't know if Laverne has more reputable roots than that. But that's how I've always seen the name. I love Patty and Maxine, but poor Laverne got the short straw in that family.

Actually, Maxene didn't really get a good deal, either. Her name was misspelled. :( Though, LaVerne got a great middle name--Sophie.That's the exact way it looks to me, too, like Verne with 'La' in front of it. I've been looking it Laverne's roots, and apparently Laverna was the Roman goddess of thieves and thievery, LOL. Poor, poor LaVerne. :)

I linked to Laverne after I posted and saw the possible connection to Laverna. Now, Laverna I could go for. Anything ancient Roman interests me and the goddess thing is neat. The word "verdant" comes to mind. :-)Maxene? (rolls eyes)
