Solveig's name

Holy cow. In response to a remark of [livejournal.com profile] averagegirl I actually looked up the meaning of Solveig's name for the first time. Embarrassing to admit I haven't done so until now.

I'd simply picked it because it was Norwegian (this is Minnesota, after all), and I liked the sound of it.

I had no idea that the name means "House-woman." Or, according to one website I checked "House of Strength."

What a perfect name for a woman architect.

Sometimes I'm so inadvertently brilliant that I scare myself.

It's yet another sign that This Book Must Be Written.
