Anmelia is a blend of my name Ann with that of my Mother's Amelia and it seems fitting that I have begun my blog on her birthday and on the date of my initial blending (thirty-six years later.) My Mother never used the beautiful name but spent her days being named Elma.
Anmelia is the name invented by my Husband to describe those times when he feels I have become my Mother, the mad Scots furniture shifter. I too, enjoy this pastime, much to his annoyance as he much prefers knowing where the coffee table is going to be as he crosses the lounge in the dark...
I googled the name Anmelia and it does exist at least two people in America are named thus, have they too combined names? Name combining to produce new names does happen. The name 'Malandra' as in 'Malandra Burrows' who was an actress in the Emmerdale Farm fame from eons ago when Annie, Joe and Jack used to shut the kitchen door because it was 'parky in't yard.'
'Malandra' is a blend of 'Malcolm' and 'Sandra' her parents names. Personally I think it is is an odd thing to do but it can form an individual name I suppose, if the two names are compatible that is.
Here is a short poem based around my name, from a poetry excercise. Each line contains ten syllables if you pronounce 'favourite' with two syllables as in fav'rite.
Ann
One lonely syllable plain and simple
with common individuality
Well worn on Royalty, often tagged on
Begins gable-ended ends double-arched
Like two of my favourite Play-School windows
About Me
- Anmelia
- I live on the North-East coast and would have a lovely view along the coast-line as far as Souter point if it were not for a big red blot of a building at the bottom of my street. There is a slight gap between the building and the trees across the road where I can glimpse my blue, sometimes muse.
