Can you help with a name for my courtyard

[Karen]

What's the place name for where you were born? You courtyard could be "Example" South ....

I was born in Ellon, which is in aberdeenshire, near Inverurie,not sure either of those places really have that catchy phrase i am looking for, but thanks for the suggestion, i could not find anything gaelic with my name or to do with the cats or courtyard, anyone can help let me know ,cheers.

Clowder Nap

Clowder, as you may know, is the term for a group of cats. (Herd of sheep, gaggle of geese)

Nap is a play on the word Gap, used to indicate the passage through a mountain range.

When you were describing the evening, it occurred to me that the cats may use it even more than YOU do -- you will be back and forth to clear dishes, get a drink, and it sounds like THEY aren't moving! He he heee

It's lovely................. How about Hampton Court?

How about Cait Sidhe?
Cait - cat in Irish and Scottish Gaelic
Sidhe - a name for "otherwordly beings" (Irish Gaelic) or Sith (Scottish Gaelic)

Hmm they are all pretty darn cute names so far, i am kind of going with Pinots Mom suggestion at the moment, being the scottish gaelic, it really appeals,now i wonder how on earth does one pronounce it, i should learn that shouldn't I ? actually i would love to be fluent in gaelic,maybe that is something for me to think about this year thanks, but keep those ideas coming,bit undecided as yet, but going with cait Sith so far.

Just looking it up online Cait Sith would be pronounce Kate (like the name) and Sith just as it looks. Not sure how to write that one out any other way. The "i" is the same as in my name, Cindy.

I'm terrible with naming, Carole; but I just wanted to say what a lovely courtyard you have!

[carole]

thanks for that, you know since it is pronounced kate, even though it means cat, that is kinda of special, my aunt kate died sadly by taking her own life about five years ago, it could be like in memory of her too, so maybe it is the one.
