duh! your so blonde sometimes!

 

That could mean one of two things.

 

My first choice would be, yes please! I'll be your bbfe if you do.

 

Or, somewhat less flattering, that I'm being a bit dense for not realising that you have access to it already.

 

Which one ?

Nice, a dirty mind is a joy forever . By the way, why not Eliana, an Italian girl's name meaning sun ?

But all joking apart, both Nectria fuckeliana and the grey mould Botryotinia fuckeliana (anamorph : Botrytis cinerea) were named after the mycologist Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel. And I think he would have been more bothered if he had known, collegues would posthumously name two parasites after him .

About the meaning of names in other languages. I have a German friend, who has Knob (as knob in Knoblauch = garlic) for a family name. He only recently found out what his name means in English after his daughter moved to Hongkong. And you can see lots of Dutch walking the streets with plastic bags with V&D on it .
