Re: Edelweiss as a name?
in reply to a message by Constant
I have a character in my fanfic named Ed L. Weisz, full name Edna Laura Weisz. The name jumped into my head for some reason. Edna Ferber and Laura Ingalls Wilder are writers from my state, and Harry Houdini's real name was Erik Weisz, and he also called Appleton his home. It has a beautiful sound, but is a bit much as a name. Maybe if there are enough fictional Edelweiss's first, maybe it could catch hon.

Rachel Weisz is the name of the actress who played in "The Mummy," and she is of Austrian-Jewish descent. Maybe she and Houdini are distantly related?
