I like it.

Is it just coincidental or is Edna Sky's name an anagram for ask deny

Hey Texmom, Thanks for the positive feeback! ~ James

Dear Jabberwocky, You certainly have a sharp eye for letters! It is accidental anagram. I created the name so she would sound old (edna/enda) and young (sky/kys) at the same time --> enda kys = last kiss. ~ James

LOVELY word, misagery...intuitive,impeccable etymology, and unlike my word, mercifully brief.
