There is ruth and there is wisdom. I'm siding with wisdom. It would not be wise for me to say "Peg, I'm doing my next camino with ruth."
So many scenes from 'Father Ted' running through my mind nowAnd be sure to walk with Feck, too
And be sure to walk with Feck, too.

Very good. Thanks for being such a sport after I took your thoughtful post and drove it over a cliff. I've been spending an awful lot of time on the NOT a serious thread thread and couldn't help myself.Be careful ! My name, Sophie, means wisdom...could be digging a hole...LOL
i can recognize so far we are 4 here attendee of that thread...NOT a serious thread thread
As a juxtaposition lots of women's names have very high brow and often beautiful meanings such as Ruth, Sophie, Faith and Hope.
Ha ha haLooked up feck. Not popular in either New York or Los Angeles.
Ahh names...Karin is a variant of Catherine...meaning Pure. It just don't say pure what!!
Hel, you may have overlooked Charity as a women's name.
And also, as Faith, Hope and Charity, reminiscent of the names given to three Gloster Gladiator (string and cloth) fighter planes in the defence of Malta in 1940.
The word 'ruthless' crossed my path today in conversation and I wondered afterwards if the opposite would be 'ruth'. Lo and behold, there it was in the dictionary , ruth (n.) compassion for another / sorrow about one's own misdeeds or flaws.
How nice it would be if we could all go around with a bit more ruth. I mention this in a camino forum because it's a word that I've searched for when trying to describe the attributes of pilgrims I've met along the way. It's delightful.
Hey Tom, are you in Santiago now?
Enjoy the trip.Yes, I will be here until the 12th, and working at the office until the 11th. My wife straight bed tomorrow, as a tourist. On the 13th we will drive from Santiago to several places before ending up at Madrid. We fly home on a be 21st.
the simple, perfect (and blessedly uncommon) female name is "Jill." To help Spanish people pronounce it perfectly, spell it "Xil."
Next time tell them Bill and if they give you trouble when you check in tell them that they messed up.Fantastic, thanks! I’ll remember that. (Love the photo!) In the whole of Europe I get a blank look (or a repeated query several times on the other end of the phone) if I say my name is Jill. So now I say my name is Margaret (my middle name as per my passport) when I have to book somewhere.
Jill
Unlike @JillGat who prefers her name to be pronounced “the English way”, my youngest loves the Spanish pronunciation of hers: Ella-Rose.
and did you ever see a food chain called Frankie and Bennie?....with regard to names...my forename is Peter...when receiving confirmation, the Saint name I chose was Dominic....so consequently I became Peter Dominic..which co- incidentally(!) is the same name as a successful chain of off-licences ( liquor stores) here in the UK...I still have a quiet smile to myself when I think of the bizarre sense of humour I've had the joy of carrying with me for the past half century...Time to fess up to the church, do you think....or should I just enjoy wallowing in the smugness?
Looked up feck. Not popular in either New York or Los Angeles.
A much nicer/softer adjective or exclamation than the alternative swear word!!I never heard the word feck before...What valuable info one learns on this website.
No....Feck is the Irish versionI never heard the word feck before... at first I thought it was a British version of another expletive..I always remark what usefulinfo one learns on this website!
Glad Dave that you were rolling on the Floor.....
My name is Bridget...and did you ever see a food chain called Frankie and Bennie?

Ruth (less) happens to be my middle name!
Supermarine Spitfire (the Mk.IXc iteration) .... Then it will be onto a Lancaster -- maybe the Dam Buster
My father used to fly in a Supermarine Walrus while in the Navy. Also a Mitchell design. The service nickname for this was the "Shagbat" They were catapult launched from Cruisers and Capital ships. Nothing what so ever to do with the Camino but what the heck:-?How coincidental that you should mention the Gladiator. I just finished building a model of it a few weeks ago after reading a brief biography of its designer Henry Folland last year. I have been fascinated by the remarkable history of British aircraft innovations and design. I'm slowly working on another in a British plane series that I want to have, the Supermarine Spitfire (the Mk.IXc iteration) after watching a film on its brilliant designer, R.J. Mitchell. Then it will be onto a Lancaster -- maybe the Dam Buster.
My two certificates for the Ingles and Portuguese have different spellings for my First Name "Marcus" which I am fairly sure is Latin in the first place. I even borrowed my daughters Latin Grammar book to see whether they had declined the noun? I then remembered why I had dumped Latin at school at the first opportunity and learned an easy language like German instead!!@Veteranmember
Like you I walked my CF in stages. When I finally reached Santiago and received my certificate they wrote an interesting version of Ruth. I can't tell you exactly what it was, the certificate is at home and I'm not there at present.
