> Dear Pavlos, not even you could knowingly produce that definition of Kallistanthe - but congratulations on a wondrous typo!

Oh my gods, what have my fingers randomly generated! My apology to any Kallistanthes out there, no innuendo intended :)

Oinanthe is indeed most likely related to colour, 'though I could also metaphorically imply something along the like of "intoxicating beauty". The only place I encountered this obscure name is *Lexicon of Greek Personal Names* (Oxford U.).

Cheers backacha, dear :)
