Clare's insight:

I'm not convinced by the transcription: I think that's a T, not a C*, so it's Wiktoria.

 

*It's ok, medieval scribes got them confused all the time.

Clare's insight:

I'm not sure what "im Ente" means ("in der Ente" would mean "in the duck"?!) but Lorimon is rather a good name, oder?

From a purely nosey point of view, I wish named bumper stickers would catch on in the UK.  Every car journey would be an adventure!

Clare's insight:

It took a moment of staring before the penny dropped and I realised that Marwin is pronounced like Marvin.

As always, ignore the website's strapline and any negative comments on the posts.  All names are interesting!
