Re: Correction
Phyllis Faye! You have *two* Greek names! Phyllis means "leaf" and "faye" is a shade of grey. "Faya Ousia" -- "grey substance" -- is the source our decision and motivation process.
Kress itself has planty and leafy roots, and words such as "grass," "cress," and "grow" have evolved from it.
All things considered, your new Greek name is henceforth *Gaia Euphoria*, fertile earth.

PriaposLovs and NanaeaMy paternal grandfather changed his name from Kreptconovich (I think), but I can't ask him because he died a number of years ago. It translates to "son of Krepkoi", which I found out Krepkoi translates into "strong" or "strength" (I forget which :D (shrug) ).
PriaposLovs, my middle name comes from Middle English and means "spirit" which is why I sometimes sign with the Gaelic phrase "Sidhe Uaine" (pronounced "she oohana" with the double-o pronounced like in "school"), but Gaia Euphoria sounds just as nice. (Nanaea , if you're still interested, I haven't stopped trying to get your middle name translated into Gaelic.)Phyllis (Sidhe Uaine)PS PriaposLovs, by the way, besides dryads, what other tree spirits are there in Greek mythology? I know the dryads were the spirits of the oaks, but I thought there were other tree spirits, like for the olive trees and such. Could you help me here? Thanks

I promise to look into it Sidhe Uaine. But in all honesty you have an advantage over me with all your bibliographical and university resources on the metaphysical realm :)
