Title: Seagoon Family Announcement
Post by: Seagoon on October 25, 2006, 11:26:00 PM: Hi All,

Sorry I haven't been around of late. My wife gave birth to our fourth child, Isabel Idelette Webb on Tuesday morning. Both mother and child are doing very well. I have enclosed one of those insufferable new father happy snaps with this message. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. :D

Post by: Seagoon on October 26, 2006, 06:53:35 PM: Thanks very much to everyone for the well-wishes!

As far as sleep is concerned, we have 3 other children ages 6, 4, and 3 who have been very zealous to make sure we don't ever wake up with aches and pains from having slept too much. ;-)

Anyway, we have been very blessed, especially because the pregnancy and the delivery went without a snag and I don't ever want to take that for granted. Along those lines, I've been visiting the child of one of the families in our congregation who will be in the NICU (Neonatal intensive care unit) for at least 2 more months having been born by emergency C-Section at 28 weeks. It's obviously very hard to see your tiny child hooked up to so many different lines you can barely see them and for mom to go home from the hospital without her baby is even harder.

Anyway, regarding Straffo's question:

Thanks for the information, I'm glad to know we are helping to keep an old name from becoming extinct! I don't know if there is an English equivalent of Idelette. We name our daughters after women we greatly admired who also happen to have names we like, so our first, Margaret Abigail, was named after "the Twa Margarets" the Wigtown Martyrs Margaret Wilson and Margaret McLoughlin and David's wife Abigail (1 Sam. 25).

Isabel Idelette is named after the Covenanter widow Isabel Brown:

"But the killer of many (Claverhouse) unbelted his pistol, and hastily walking up to John Brown, placed it to his head, and blew his brains out, scattering them over the ground. Looking at his ghastly work with a sardonic smile, he turned to Isabel saying: 'What do you think of your fine husband now?' And through her sad tears she bravely answered: 'I ever thought much good of him, and more than ever now…' "

and Idelette Calvin, The Reformer's wife. Idelette was the widow of a Belgian religious refugee, Jean Storder and was known as a woman of great compassion, intellect, and piety. She lived almost her entire life in constant peril because of her faith and yet bravely persevered through it all. Here is one description of her prior to her marriage to John Calvin:

"Idelette paid to her children all the attention of the tenderest mother, and at the same time administered consolation to those who were in affliction. Calvin had observed in her a deep-seated faith, an affection full of devotedness, and a Christian courage which enabled her to face all the perils to which the confession of Jesus Christ at that time exposed her."

Post by: Seagoon on October 26, 2006, 07:03:00 PM: Hey Straffo (or any other French Speakers),

Should the "I" in Idelette be pronounced "Eye" as in Ideal or "Ih"? as in idiot (which is probably what I am for not thinking to ask that question sooner).

Thanks,

SEAGOON

Well we've always pronounced the "I" in Idelette I as in Idle, but it occurs to me that if there are actually some Frenchmen or Belgians on the board who haven't yet added me to their ignore list that I should check with them to make sure. Being originally from England, I tend to pronounce everything wrong, I still say "Toe-mah-to" and "Al-you-min-yum" and "Nuke-lee-ar" for instance.

I have however finally figured out a few words, for instance I now say "Sked-yule" like all normal people instead of "shed-yule."

"See-Goon"

I don't know if it's the right pronounciation but it's how I prononce it :

Post by: Seagoon on October 27, 2006, 03:29:05 PM: Thanks for recording that Straffo, I figured I was getting it wrong. Believe it or not you have just changed the way our family will address one the children. Now when my wife uses her daughter's middle name when she's angry, it will be with the patented Straffo pronounciation.
:aok
