HelpRe: Fake Etymology
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
It seems like a stretch tbh, because Emmalee and Amali look nothing like each other. I think some people dislike the idea that the names they picked for their children don't have an etymology and/or don't mean anything nice.
I've never "pretended" a name meant something else.
My fake etymology: Arianne comes from Hebrew, meaning "the lion's grace" (from "ari" and "Hannah")
"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”
