It is also a man's name in Wales, they tell me. We have a daughter Jacquie (Jacqueline) who we fought with in early school years how to spell her shortened name!

GwynneF stranger Registered: 06/29/02 Posts: 7 Loc: Illinois	Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for -- the 'ism' and 'nth' are the types of answers I knew you all would know. Thanks for your attention to this answer, even without my being back here!

Thanks for your attention to this answer, even without my being back here! How time flies! BTW, when replying to a post that isn't immediately above your reply, it is helpful to quote from the post you are replying to. Otherwise it is sometimes hard to tell just what the reply means.
