In addition to my strange penchant for naming inanimate objects (such as my pink 2ND generation nano whose name is Darcy) I like to have meaning behind the names I choose (once again the example of the iPod, a rather obvious meaning there I believe). The two names I have chosen for the piano both have a story behind them actually.
1)Cecilia-a rather straightforward meaning...St. Cecilia was the patron saint of music and musicians, and I preferred this name to using the rather difficult to pronounce Greek name of the muse of music.
2)Molly-a rather longer story...For those of you who are familiar with the Millie Keith books, this name comes from one of those books. In the book, the pastor of a frontier church is attempting to raise funds for a new church piano. One of the wealthy families in town donates a cow which the preacher names Piano, since it was donated to the piano fund. One of the older and rather eccentric townspeople suggests that as they have a cow named piano, the new church piano ought to be named Molly. I found that highly amusing, and think it would be quite fun to have a piano named Molly even if I don't have a cow.
So, share with me your opinion and I will let you know shortly which name I have decided upon for the piano.
Under the mercy,
Elizabeth
