Meaning of Names Here are some selections from a book I have called "Choosing Baby's Name", which seems quite different from your book, so I hope you don't mind my jumping in with a few - Alexander (Xander) - Greek background - "defender and helper of men" Willow - 'the name of a plant' (easy guess) Rupert - Old German - 'fame bright' Giles - Latin - 'wearer of the goatskin' Cordelia - Welsh origin - 'jewel of the sea' Maybe this is just me, but 'Cordelia' has always seemed like something you would call a swan - graceful and lovely, yet somehow reserved. Has anybody else ever thought this? Jesse - (Xander's doomed buddy from WTTHM) Hebrew - 'wealth' Hank - (Buffy's dad) Henry - Old German. 'house ruler' Owen - Celtic. 'young, well born warrior' Wendell - (a.k.a. Spider Boy from "Nightmares") - Teutonic. 'wanderer' William - (Billy, from "Nightmares" - Old German. 'will' and 'helmet' That's most of the first names I could think of - I couldn't find Buffy, and Angel wasn't listed under either gender. Any more requests? I'd be happy to look them up for you. Take care, Anissa Haddadi A Xander Admirer "I wonder what she sees in me... it must be the quiet good looks coupled with a certain smoky magnetism". - Xander Harris, "Teacher's Pet" I couldn't have said it better myself. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 15:55:11 -0700 From: Allan Alexander Subject: Re: BUFFY: I love you Mike0705@aol.com wrote: > > I am sorry for being a pain, but I just wanted to tell you guys that I love > Sarah Michelle Gellar and if she ever reads this, I will not love you because > of your looks I will love you for youre personality. I love you Sarah > Michelle Gellar. I think that you need to step back and think about what you are saying. You say that you like SMG for her personality and not just her looks? How can you say you like her personality when you've never met her. I could understand if you like Buffy's personality because you see her every week, but you don't know Sarah. That is like saying you hate Charisma Carpenter. Just because Cordelia resembles a few four letter words on camera does not mean she is like that off camera. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 16:13:49 -0700 From: Allan Alexander Subject: Re: BUFFY: three birthdays for Buffy According to the Buffy FAQ in which they quote Joss as saying that the 1981 b-day is correct.

One week ago, I posted a message about my lost internet access. Well, I still haven't gotten my phone line reconnected, so once again, I'm typing this message from a computer at school. Checking my mailbox this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see many letters from quite a few of you. Included in this mail was resent requests, questions, and great letters of support. I responded to a few of them, and then it happened. My e-mail account suddenly froze, and I couldn't type anything in. This has happened before, so I just closed the window and tried to get back in. The server was down, so it would be an hour until I could get back on. When I finally did, I discovered that my inbox was completely empty. It was empty, I say! All the mail that I have received during the last seven days is completely gone. When will my bad luck ever end? So anyways, here's the deal: if you have any questions, requests, or general comments that you'd like to send me, please do so. If you sent me any mail, regardless of when you sent it, please resend it. I am so sorry for constantly bugging all of you with my problems. Thanks for your time.

A tree would work like this: I'd be the root and would take my master copy of the convenion and make 6 or 7 copies of it. Then I would give those to 6 or 7 people called branches who would each have a list of "leaves" that they would make copies for (again, about 6 or 7 people). That way about 40 people now have a copy of the tape and no one has to copy it more than a few times. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 11:51:34 -0500 From: Tracey Newton Subject: BUFFY: Table Hopping I just noticed this last night...

Meaning of Names Hello, all! > Willow - 'the name of a plant' (easy guess) Willow does have a lot of metaphoric connotations, however. In a poem, it usually signifies false or unrequited love, as in Shakespeare: "The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree, Sing all a green willow" or "Stood Dido with a willow in her hand" [Dido committed suicide after her lover, Aeneas, left her.] Thomas Chatterton wrote: "Mie love ys dedde, Gon to hys death-bedde, Al under the wyllowe-tree" and of course in many folk songs, the rejected lover plants: "a willow tree The leaves they will wither The roots they will die You will all be forsaken And never know why." In the Bible, however, the willow represents terrible grief, "Hung our harps upon the willow" I hope these quotes (from Bartlett's Quotations) do not foretell Bad Things happening to Willow!

If you go to the oldest graveyards here in New England (as one often does ;-), many of the headstones from the 1600's, 1700's, and even up to the Civil War have a weeping willow carved on them. On the other hand, around here the willow is the earliest to get leaves in the spring, and the last to drop them in the fall. - --alan - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Convis alan@pharlap.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 14:00:11 -0400 From: Jerry Hyde Subject: BUFFY: Addresses Where can you find addresses of the cast of BtVS?

Kathryn, on 7-22-97, wrote: "Willow does have a lot of metaphoric connotations, however." One more that you missed, in a Joan Baez song, she sings about the willow: "Willing to be a shelter in a storm, Your Willow, Your Willow, 'til the sun is out" (or something like that, it's hard to understand) Anyway, judging from this song, Willow would be the person that they run to when they need shelter, comfort, etc., which does kinda fit with her characterization.

Ok, this is way late, but: you mean someone besides me has actually seen "The Mummy?" I thought I was the only one. Cool. ObBuffy: If Buffy and Co. were to go up against a walking mummy, that would be weird. Way weird. I wonder if they'd go with the usual "Book of the Dead" thing, or if they'd do something else. Also, what Egyptian deities would be mentioned? Isis and Set are usually named, and Osiris pretty often. They're the most well known. I have to wonder what show canon would be for laying the mummy to rest--the tanna leaves have been done, but I'm sure there's some incantation. Shoot--now I wish I'd bought that bargain copy of _The Book of the Dead_ when I worked at a bookstore. Time to hit the library (and my Egyptian mythology books) I guess.

I just saw the episode Nightmares, and there are a few questions that I have. After the kid wakes up from his coma, everything seems to be back to normal, but it appears that only Buffy and gang remember what actually happened. So did all those events really happen? Did Buffy's dad remember saying that stuff to Buffy? If the events were not real, then how do you explain that girl getting beat up by the Ugly Man? Anyways, talk to y'all later.

She has this case to hold the beeper on her pants (it has a clip on the case) well any ways she has like 12 cases 6 solid colors and then some with spots swirls and stripes on them.

That means in 102 days (the page was put up Apr 12), there has been an average of 100 (+/-) visits a day, WOW! I bet the hits will go up even higher in a short amount of time as soon as the season starts, and soon we will be at 20,000+.

I hope I'm remembering correctly, as it's been quite a while since I've read the play. Anissa is right. The whole quotation from "Othello," Act IV, iii, 41 is: The poor soul sat sighing by the sycamore tree Sing all a green willow; Her head on her bosom, her head on her knee Sing willow, willow, willow, For ANOTHER Shakespearean reference, in "Hamlet," "There is a willow grows askaunt the brook." Ophelia, driven to insanity, climbs up into a willow and later falls into the stream, where she drowns. OB: Buffy Buffy's writers know their Shakespeare. There is a really good allusion to "Merchant of Venice" in "Nightmares," where Cordelia discusses Shylock. Shakespeare plays that might be added to our Buffy rerun reading list: Midsummer Night's Dream Mischevious faeries play havoc with each other and mortals lost in the woods. Hamlet King's ghost appears to his son, Hamlet, telling him to revenge his murder on his uncle, the King's brother, and his queen, Hamlet's mom. {But can Hamlet trust the ghost?} Macbeth Ambitious nobleman believes three witches who foretell he can become king through murder. Prophesies are a tricky thing (see Prophesy Girl :) Tempest Exiled king and his daughter live on an enchanted island, with the help of his book of magic. {I wonder if Gile's has Prospero's book in the library? :) Kathryn (it can be handy to work in a library :) ------------------------------ End of buffy Digest V1 #202 *************************** To subscribe to buffy Digest, send the command: subscribe buffy-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@xmission.com".
