What's in a Name?
Once when I was visiting as a hospital volunteer, I met a woman whose name was Irene. We got to talking about the meanings of names and I found that she was very interested in names, words and crossword puzzles. "My name means peace," she told me. I told her that I'd heard that. She continued, "Well, my husband's name was Frederick, and that means war. There we were, War and Peace," she said. We had a good laugh together. "That sort of rings a bell," I told her.
