I introduce this letter because my maiden name starts with W. I saw Roger do this game, when the G was having its turn.
1.Family name? Wouters! This is also my maiden name. In the Netherlands the family name of the husband comes first, followed by the maiden name of the married lady. In my case it'll be:"Francois-Wouters".
2 First name? Wilhelmina. At the time when I was born we had a Queen Wilhelmina, I was not named after her but after my grandmother.
3 An animal?A wolf, spelled the same way in Dutch and English.
4.A boy’s name:Wim ( short for Willem, which is William in English)
5 A girl’s name:Wil, Wendy, Winny, Wanda,etc...
6. An occupation?:A watchmaker, a weaver....
7. A color?White...
8 Something you wear? Wellingtons
9. A beverage? Whiskey
10. A food?Water-melon
11. Something found in bathroom?Warm water (same spelling in Dutch or English),a wash basin.
12. A town? Washington
13. A flower? Wistaria
14. A country? Wales, a Celtic country in the United Kingdom

This is fun - should I use J for maiden name? C for first husband's name? or E for second husband's name?
ReplyDeleteHi WIL,
ReplyDeleteWHAT a WONDERFUL WITTY WELCOMING introduction to 'W', you did very WELL
to magic so many 'W' WORDS! Truly amazing that I really had to WRACK my
brains to find a subject of interest, and now the dratted 'W's are rolling
of my tongue!
Just looking at your names, your marries name looks French, Is that so?
My married name begins with 'W' and my grandfather was called WLLIAM!
That's it now I'm done with W's.
Best WISHES to you
Dear WIL,
Di.

Wow! Great intro.

Love this W introduction!!!
ReplyDeleteI love lists and this one tells us a bit more about you, which I like. Beautiful photos of a gorgeous plant!
ReplyDeleteYou have a regal name - Wilhelmina. Those flowers are gorgeous - such a lovely lavender.
ReplyDeleteI've wondered what Wil is short for. I didn't ever think of Wilhelmina. That's a beautiful name. It's the name of my favorite amateur sleuth, who goes by Helma for short. I like this game. I did it, too, after seeing Roger's post. Happy Holidays!
