I have no idea. That's the kind of detail that would fly out of my brain the second I noticed it. (I was going to say "unless I blogged it or something", but I've blogged a zillion things that I've promptly forgotten.)
well, I conflate the questions. but I've thought about Name-names and their significance, as have most or many people, I guess, my whole life, and what pops out is...
Mary
I realize that Lisa is Jewish and might not have the resonance that a Christian might, and in fact I'm not Catholic, so it's kind of strange, but the name just sits so nicely with me, so comfortably, so well with history, there's something about it from my reading and I was raised Christian at least and I did travel Europe and see the great art so I even saw the pieta before it was hit at the Vatican, etc etc and Mary had a little lamb so it echoes as kind of basic.
