Can you help with a name for my courtyard

[Taz_Zoee]

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!

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.

thank you, i will post a pic when it is all complete, we got the garden edging yesterday and i just sold my daughters old school uniform for 50 dollars so that will pay for the rest of the garden edging, i must do something about either finish painting over that brown fence or covering it, it looks horrible, and then i will gradually add my nick nacks and extra solar lighting.,and my white pebble gardens.

I had this old ornament that i gave my daughter when she was young, it is ceramic, and is a cat in a hammock, so it has a found a new home, in the courtyard.

Last night hubby and i were sitting on the swing seat in the cool of the evening, it was dark, we had the citronella candle on the table, and the fairy lights along the house side wall, and we put the outside light on which shines on the end only of the courtyard and it was really nice, quite romantic really.

It is the simple pleasures in life that mean so much,(it is not flash,just simple and modest, but just what i want),not that i would mind a spa pool plonked at the end of the courtyard, maybe one day, would be great to soak away those aches and pains of mine, have to win the lottery for that one lol, the kitties were sitting at the door looking out , wondering why they could not join us, but no it was time for them to be safely inside for the night, much to their disgust, they gave up in the end, and when we went inside they were at either end of the couch,and lexie was in her house.

I have seen so many things i want for my courtyard, some outdoor art work done on corrugated iron, i just have to be careful i don't over do it, i am not one for too many things and that crowded look.

I will have to investigate getting a sign made up once i am certain of the name but so far it is cait sith.

I'm so glad I could help with the naming! Just to further solidify it; you mentioned "fairy lights" - the other definition of Sith is a fairy being. I think we have something here.

CAIT SITH - I like it!

Your courtyard sounds so lovely, Carole. And you will give it the perfect name. You and those you love will enjoy it for years!

Yes well not 100 per cent sure yet, i could just put welcome in gaelic which is Failte, i found this awesome site that teaches you how to learn gaelic, it teaches you how to pronounce it, it is very hard, especially for an oldie like me to learn, but interesting, i am going to give it a go, all free, just my failing memory makes it hard to remember what i have learn't, ah well all in good fun,it is a most unusual language for sure, i just found out my maiden name in gaelic means Island.

I haven't read all the posts, yet...but what about NEL's or Nel's? Those are your cat's initials. Anyway...I think it's super sweet, and will read the posts to see if you've already named it!
