Etienne means Crown. I wonder if you named him on purpose.
Arimau, Thanks. I wish I could claim to have named Etienne intentionally; it's a good name for the fifth generation heir. Unfortunately, I just choose names that I like without considering their meanings. Of course, sometimes there are even times when I'm so caught up in the story that I haven't thought of a name for the nooboo until the window asking for a name pops up after the birth!
@Playalot, Thanks. Just trying to come up with some motivation on an awful aspiration roll.
@Lisa46, Thank you; it was lots of fun having the chance to use that line.
@KTK10, Thanks. Bella brings out the shred of decency in him.
