[Facts] It Would Be A Wonderful Gift
My best friends name is Nestly, and its a beautiful name and she's a beautiful artistic young woman, but what does her name really mean?
She Just got out of the hospital after surviving a near fatal car accident at the age of only 16! everyones showering her with gifts and i would love to give her one so unique, the true meaning of her name, that we've searched for for all our lives.
Thanks, Renae

RenaePerhaps it's similar to Nestle (the company). The founder's name meant "little nest", so perhaps if you have a local aviary, wildlife rehabilitation center or something like that, donate a little money in her name and "adopt" a bird for a year. Some of the local zoos that have an "adopt-an-animal" program give the people doing so a photo of the "adoptees", so she could have something that might give her some inspiration later on. Who knows?Phyllis (Sidhe Uaine)

NanaeaSince you've given me a few good ideas (see latest posting about feral colony), you deserve the wreath just as much as I do. Besides, the baby bird might be one of the birds "adopted", and is waiting for just the right moment to appear (something in an endangered raptor or an equally endangered crane?).
Chat with you guys soonPhyllis

Here's an idea...If you want to give us Nestly's full name -- first and last, or possibly first, middle, and last -- we'll see if we can anagram something lovely out of it that may be suggestive of the kind of creative person that she is. Or we may also anagram some pretty name aliases for her out of her name.And, don't worry, I'll make PriaposLovs behave. ;)-- Nanaea

Sorry, Renae , but the Anagram Oracle won't work unless you can find out exactly how your friend spells her full name.Go ask her. :)-- Nanaea

Will 50 lashings and a stiff bonk in the head suffice, your grace ?

On a less macabre note, I suspect that Nestly is related to the verb "to nestle", i.e., to lodge or settle as in a nest.
