I don't know... I don't think Paris, London or Savannah, etc. were women's names first. I grew up in Virginia and understand its etymology.

Geez. You are able to be snippy, and call it a joke. But no one can in any way differ with you or annie. I'm outta here.

I'm not sure why you are angry with me. I think I've been very polite.

Yes, it was a joke. Tone is difficult to judge on these boards because if you are not a paying member, you don't have access to italics, bold, etc. (if I'm wrong, could someone please tell me what to do, by the way?). Perhaps my colloquial "cool it" is different from yours; nonetheless, you can either take me at my word and trust that I was merely offering a sarcastic response to your note, or you can think that I'm a liar. Since you don't know me, I certainly hope that you'll give me the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps "joke" wasn't the best word, I'll admit. I must have misjudged the tone of your original post just as you misjudged mine.

What I'm particularly unclear on, though, is why you made singled-out comments to me and didn't expect a response. When I point out something about a name on this board, I am not in the least surprised to receive responses that agree OR disagree with me, or one telling me that the original poster was already aware of the fact that I pointed out.

At any rate, perhaps now that we've all explained ourselves, this can come to a close. I will delete all of my posts in the interest of clearing the air.
