Re: The name Lonya
in reply to a message by Mar
Yes, this seems likely, but the Lonya I read about is a man. Apollonius? But this is not Russian, I think."You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
(On Children by Kahlil Gibran)

The Russian form of Apollonius is Apollon (pron. Uh-puh-LON, for all I know).*****
