Some names are so beautiful that their rareness escapes all logic. Perpetua, I perceive, falls in this category. This name derives from Latin and means "continual" or "everlasting." Pronunciation-wise, the last two syllables 'tua' can be said like "chew-uh" or "tyoo-uh." Possible nicknames for Perpetua include Perri, Pet, Petra, and Petal. In 2015, only 13…

" Polaris (po-LAR-iss or po-LAIR-iss - to each his own) is known as the North Star in the night sky, the Lodestar, traditionally also known as the "guiding star" or "pole star." The name means "of the [north] pole" in Latin, while the Greek name for it meant "dog's tail" in mistaken reference to the constellation Ursa Minor in which Polaris resides. Many believe it is the brightest star in the sky, but it is actually the 45th brightest. It does, however, play an important role in navigation because it remains nearly motionless."

Tomorrow is St Patrick's Day, a worldwide celebration of Irish culture.
