Re: What do you think of this name?
in reply to a message by Blessedmommy
It reminds me of xylem, which is a botany term for the tissue in trees that makes wood. I'm not a fan of it.
OT- my sister and I played a variation of the alphabet game on long car rides when we are kids, and are teaching it to her kids. Instead of finding the letters on signs, we look for things that start with the letters. X is a letter that we only have one item for- xylem. Anything wooden counts for x. It isn't the only tough letter. Any horse becomes a 'quarter horse', a group of animals might be our 'zoo'.

Yay! (ot)
We play the grown-up version of that! Nouns, adjectives, and adverbs are all "eligible" words, but someone gives a word and the other has to find a match. It really stretches your thinking when you have to find something exhibiting xenophobia!
