    There was a tread very similar to this one very recently Rossi. Perhaps another member can find it for you.

     There was another one only a few weeks ago. No idea where it went to image

    At the risk of repeating myself, there's nothing cryptic about mine, my "proper" name is Kathryn. Had to add the 2 because there must have already been a Kitty & Kitty 1 before my arrival. image

    Ridiculously long name because I love trees & was looking for a tree name - but all the obvious ones (Betula, Ilex, Quercus etc) had been used by others... in desperation I thought "Nobody will have chosen THIS one!"  I was right.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Another poster prompted my alias. It just occurred. It's a name I've grown into, and becomes more and more apt. It also has that borderline human/nature connotation about it, and a hint of the wild and wondrousness of nature.

    Don't worry @Herbaceous, no offense, but one day I'm sure you'll contribute to the earth!

    Rossi, I have sent you a personal message with an amusing story about 'Quo.
