WHAT DOES THE NAME PHYLLIS MEAN?

I think I remember reading somewhere that it was a Shetland name that became popular because of a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. That would explain how it is both Norse and Scottish.

Check out the Brenda link.
And just a little piece of advice:
A nanogram of politeness on your phrasing would have made my task immensely more pleasant.

And a triple fudge really rich virtual cheesecake from Milwaukee...One each to all of the mothers who regularly post here (I'm including you, Nanaea, although you're the mother of minpins) and the wives/mothers of the regular posters, too. Along with that, 20# boxes of virtual chocolates from the best chocolatiers in each of the major chocolate producing countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland, The Netherlands, etc.)I don't remember if it's too late to post a regular cake for your personal Erisian disciple, Pavlos (I remember that Mother's Day and Nephele's birthday fell on the same day last year [what a messy time we've had since then, eh?]) If it's too early, "save" it for her actual birthday, okay? :)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

How sweet (pun not intended) of you to remember, Gaia! Nephele's b-day is today (she's turning 2) and I'm sure your virtual cake will lead to a virtual slapstick of cake slinging for all concerned :)))
