Dear Captain Jack,

Here I was, living in the first few years of the twenty-first century, and feeling really good about how all-inclusive we were all being. I mean, men and women, men and men, women and women, dogs and cats, it all seemed so wonderful and idyllic.

But now I find I'm in a Miss Manners Etiquette Quandary from Hell. Only Captain Jack

Woah. How and where do I put a Y in 'Lorna'?

[ask_captainjack]

OK

Let me think about this one.

I fucking love challenges!

yLorna

The "y" is silent. Tell everyone it's Welsh!

[ask_aboutcoffee]

LOL Jack, your inability to grasp Welsh amuses me!

If you call her yLorna you have to call her _yLorna. The _ means the letter after it is silent!

[pure_morning_8]

Pfft. You come up with something better, YanYan.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I'm just correcting his Welsh grammar! It's a game we play.

Lornya sounds sort of exotically Irish, like you're a harp player for a celtic group named after a plant.

[pure_morning_8]

Hmm. I can live with exotically Irish.

[ask_captainjack]

The Irish are not exotic. They're just sort of "there". Over there. In Irishland.

[pure_morning_8]

Maybe I should just accept that a Y does not belong in my name :(

[ask_captainjack]

WHY is it so complicated?

I swear you make up rules just to befuddle me.

Is it because I'm gorgeous when befuddled?

[ask_aboutcoffee]

We make up rules to befuddle everyone. It's a national sport. I won't say I'm all-Wales champion, but I am the regional defending Valleys grand master.

But you are gorgeous when befuddled. It's a perk!
