Can you help with a name for my courtyard

[phesina]

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!

Kari that is pretty smart, never thought of that one, however it needs to have me in it too,NELCS,does not quite have the same ring to it, i am going with the gaelic at the moment, but still not quite decided, might just have the welcome sign in gaelic yet, decisions, decisions, lol, then i will have to find someone to make me a sign, and it will have to be cheap, wish i was one of those creative arty type people,.

Carole, do you know if there is a Gaelic version of your name "Carole"?

I just did some looking around on line. The closest I could come up with (without spending hours searching zillions of web sites, many of which you have to subscribe to) were these tidbits on this page: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Carol_in_Gaelic:

In Irish it's Caral

and

What is the gaelic pronunciation of carol?
Carol? A Christmas carol? carúl Nollag. A female name? There is no Gaelic form.


I couldn't get anything when I tried changing Carol_ in the URL to Carole_ .

yes Phesina i found the same info,unfortunate there is no gaelic version of my name, ah well, still searching,cait sith is still an option though as is the welcome in gaelic.

I can't wait to see when you make your sign! You could also just put your name in front of it...Carole's Nel...I love your little spot! It's important to have that somewhere!
