1-30-09 Abby Winter Sunshine
I wonder if winter should have been Abby’s middle name. What do you think? It’s a pretty name and you’ve gotta say she thrives in this season. What is the meaning in a name?
Another idea after looking at this photo is “Abby Wolf Sunshine.” Doesn’t she look sort of like a wolf here? Or maybe “Abby Red Fox Sunshine.” Now that’s catchy.
However, perhaps we must reflect back to Juliet in her words by Shakespeare for the answers to such questions:
Meaning
What matters is what something is, not what it is called.
Origin
From Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, 1594:
JULIET:
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
No joke! Were reading Romeo and Juliet in English! I’m playing (well reading) the nurse or the “comic relief”
So cool! What a coincidence!!
