Please desist Jeffrey, this is boring and you are showing yourself up as more and more dumb with
each response.

I rest my case.
Original Message:
Thank you, nieuwland jeroen, both for the "however eloquently" compliment, as well as your
unlurking yourself on this list to which I'm a relative newcomer.
As I'm a USAmerican (hence insular) and neither a linguist nor a world traveler, please help me
to pronounce your names. I get the probable fact that your first name means "new land", and
that your last name may be Englishly translatable as Gerald or Jerrold or p'raps Jergen.
For my own part, then, I should explain my names' meanings: Judith ("praised") comes, via my
mother, from Judy Garland the actress <sigh>......and Prince, in this particular instance, is
derived from my now-deceased former husband's African-American forebears. They, slaves, were
"stolen" from their livingplace by a religious family named King who raised them as their own up
north. The former slaves then surnamed themselves Prince, in homage and gratitude to the King
family.
