I, on the other hand, thought she was more a Janice Ealand than a Norma Ealand. 'Norma' just didn't scan for me. If you only have one solution to a problem - you're not trying. IP Logged

She is what? 28? 29? Hmmm.... Elizabeth, Rebecca, Emily ,Emma, Sara, Katie, I need some air. WWW IP Logged

I can't think of her as a Norma..( My husbands middle name is Norman... eeeuuuggghhhhhhh!) Norma is not a name you hear today, unless it is for ladies of a certain age! I need some air. WWW IP Logged
Guina Ex Member Re: Miss Ealand's first name Reply #9 - Sep 29th, 2010 at 7:11pm Print Post Hi, Norma means Thor mind, Thor courage in Gaelic and Norseman ('north man') in Germanic. The name is considered of Scottish origin and was actually quite popular well into the mid-90ies (which makes it sort of ok for my Miss Ealand, as she would be born around that time). IP Logged
