Hello, friends…

Today is DISCOVER WHAT YOUR NAME MEANS Day.  I’ve had a tiring day with pokes and pricks so Paula was kind enough to offer to research my name for me.  Below you’ll find a bit of detailed info and a few tidbits, as well.

Nonnie:  A name that exudes fragrance.  Well, I love fragrant smells and I love smelling good.  I also love hugging folks who smell good.  For some reason, I have a nose that’s easily offended, and as my husband likes to joke with me, “We do not want to offend her NOSE.”  No, it’s not nice to offend Nonnie’s nose.  My favorite fragrance is J’Adore by Dior, so if you ever get the chance to smell it, you’ll know exactly how my closets smell, although I wear several different fragrances, and I never wear the same fragrance in a week.

It can be a diminutive of Ione, which is derived from the Ancient Greek word ‘ion,’ meaning ‘violet flower.’ Alternatively, it can be a nickname for Nora. The name Nonnie can also be linked to Greek names like Eleanor and Helen. Eleanor originates from Old French and Old German and means ‘other’ or ‘foreign,’ while Helen means ‘sun ray.’  Nonnie’s Latin origin gives it a unique meaning, ‘the ninth-born child.’   But, I’m a ‘Wednesday’s” child, although, per the little Mother Goose song, I embody the characteristics of every day except Wednesday and Thursday…

• Monday = fair of face;
• Tuesday = full of grace; 
• Friday = loving and giving;
• Saturday = works hard for a living;
• Sunday = fair and wise, good and gay.
