The Language of Love

Wow! I kind of remember you mentioning back when we were together in NYC last year, that you might be getting dual citizenship. That's pretty neat-o.

 

In celebration, I have anagrammed for you an Italian alias!

 

Zahrah Elsabeth Romani

 

Salute!

 

-- Nephele

Grazie!

Prego!

 

Heh, "Zahrah" is really an Arabic name (meaning "flower in bloom"), but it has enough of an international sound to it to pass for something a native Italian might wear.

 

You can pronounce it with a 'talian 'tude: Zaaaaahrah.

 

"Romani" is a patronymic of the Italian "Romano," meaning "Roman, from Rome" -- which seemed appropriate for you, here at UNRV.

 

Does your mom have a middle name? I'll Italianize her, too, if she likes.

 

-- Nephele

Yep, and here it is (well, the letters): aajnno

Yep, and here it is (well, the letters): aajnno

 

Your mom should have the same surname as yours:

 

Jhonna Machelle Romani

 

pronounced: ZHAN-nah mah-KEL-leh roh-MAH-nee

 

 

-- Nephele

Heheh how eerily close to what her name really is! Molto grazie, Nephe!

Here's a better, perhaps more plausible Italian name, for your mom:

 

Noemi Jannah Marchello

 

"Noemi" is an Italian form of "Naomi."

 

The surname "Marchello" is pronounced mar-KEL-loh (I figure you already knew that), and is derived from a diminutive of the personal name "Marco."

 

-- Nephele

Hehe and with my youngest brother's name being Mark, well, that fits!!! Ecellente, Neffe!!
