HelpRe: Some atrocities from a bad name book I own. Read and weep!
in reply to a message by Caprice
Jett's meaning made me actually snort out loud. That's amazing.
Scottish / Scots Gaelic is a language in its own right, even if it's a very minority one nowadays. As I can figure, Luain, like Luan in Irish, can mean Monday (rather than just Diluain, the dictionary form of Monday in Scots), soooo there's a very tenuous link that could link Lundy to a mangling of the Scottish word for Monday, which is where they might have got the weird meaning from? I dunno. I mean, it's obviously complete rubbish, but there might be a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of a logic there, a tiny bit of information that's been misused?
Or maybe I'm fishing for that. Lundy is a hideous name, after all, and I've never met a Scottish person called it, even as a surname, or, for that matter, a living creature, but it's just a thought...
"Native American" makes me wince so hard. It's like saying 'X means 'Y' in "African"'. Eugh.
The JPG comment is just weird...
