I’m on sabbatical from the Nook at the moment.
In the meantime, please feel free to make yourself at home. Brew yourself a nice cuppa, draw a chair up to the fire, kick off your shoes, and idle away a spare moment or two browsing the Nook’s eclectic collection 
.
And, of course, there’s always my book too: Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Names: For Pagans, Witches, Wiccans, Druids, Heathens, Mages, Shamans & Independent Thinkers of All Sorts Who Are Curious About Names from Every Place and Every Time…
Nook of Names
My favorite pass-the-time-of-day! Snuggled by a warm fire with a good book and a cup of latte within reach… especially on these cold snowy mornings. As long as you return, all shall be fine
Oh, I’ll be back alright
. Enjoy the latte!
Enjoy your well-earned break from blogging, and we’ll see you when you get back!
Aw! Just as I discover your wonderful book and blog, you’re gone on what I’m sure is a well-deserved rest. I shall look forward to your return!
In the meantime, to show my appreciation, I’ve anagrammed for you a pagan name out of your actual name (I do this a lot on various forums on the interwebs):
Chaillé Dreamskhye
= Kay Michelle Sheard
Chaillé: habitational name from either of two places, in Deux-Sèvres and Vendée, which were Romano-Gallic settlements named as Calliacum, from the Latin personal name Callius + the locative suffix -acum.
Source: Patrick Hanks, Dictionary of American Family Names (Oxford University Press, 2003).
Chaille in French is also a geologic name given to limestone containing a mixture of chalcedony and calcite.
Dreamskhye is a fanicful rendering of “Dream Sky,” a surname to describe one who sees and/or flies through the sky in her dreams.
– Nephele
Thank you, Nephele! I love the anagram! Dreamskhye in particular — how I love to fly in dreams
.
Oops! Correction — “fanicful” should have been “fanciful.”
I’m back again with another anagrammed pagan name for you.
Melichrysa Elkhead
= Kay Michelle Sheard
Melichrysa: from Greek, meaning “gold-colored chrysolite.”
Elkhead: The elk, crowned with antlers, symbolizes nobility and strength.
– Nephele
Fabulous! Another great anagram — much better than ones I’ve come up with for myself!
I hope you’re enjoying your break.
You’ve won a giveaway over on my blog!
Oh, how exciting! I don’t usually win things
Thanks, Hannah!
While awaiting your return, I’ve anagrammed for you another pagan name.
Lady Kashi Mehercle
= Kay Michelle Sheard
Kashi: Sanskrit, meaning “shining.”
Mehercle: Latin oath word, meaning “by Hercules!”
Cheers!
I hope you’re enjoying the summer! While still awaiting your return, I’ve anagrammed some more pagan names for you. This time with a “sky” theme.
Achillée Dreamskhy
Michaelah Skyelder
Camelliah Redskhye
Marah Lee Skychilde
= Kay Michelle Sheard
Achillée: French name for yarrow, an herb used for courage, love, and the exorcism of negativity.
French flower names make such pretty people names. As you did with the Welsh flower names, I hope you’ll do a blog entry on French flower names!
Cheers!
– Nephele
Wishing you a Happy Yule! Hope to see you back to blogging in the New Year. In the meantime, have a couple more anagrammed pagan names, as my Yuletide gift to you:
Helise Dark Alchemy
Lady Michelea Shrek
= Kay Michelle Sheard
Cheers!
