One boy looked a lot like father when he was born, and was named Troy, for True Reminder Of You. My housemate is named Lavinia, not after the character in Titus Andronicus, but because her parents combined their own names - Larry and Virginia (they didn't even know that Lavinia was a real name).

As a male name it means wise and is a variant of Conrad (bold council) or Constant (steadfast or constant). As a female name it means constant and is a variant of Constance (constant, wise, knowlegeable). It's also a nickname for leprechauns in Ireland Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: put the lime in the coconut... #125080 03/13/04 11:10 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Kinda loses something if you're pronouncing Diot like Diet.

I'd rather be a Connie than a Corney meownself BTW, both my sisters have names that can go either way as well...Christy and Kelli. Kelli married a Kelley and for the life of us we can't think of a better way to refer to them (at least one that will stick!) than Kelli girl and Kelley boy.
