I was wondering if you knew anything about the name Silaine. It’s my friend’s name, but she doesn’t know the meaning of it. Her family is from Iceland, and it is very possible that it is a combination name, but it would be interesting to know for sure.

Paralee was a long-time Southern staple, but this rarity is fading today. Could Paralee have its origins in a seventeenth century French card game?
