: Hi,
:
: da "Liza" nicht einfach nur "Liza" heißen soll, bin ich auf der Suche nach einem Namen (für die Ahnentafel). Ich dachte an etwas mystisches oder magisches (darf gerne aus mehr als nur einem Wort/Begriff bestehen).
: Auf Vorschläge (wenn's geht mit Begriffserklärung) bin ich sehr gespannt.

deine Kleine is ja ein total süsser Wonnebrocken (habe die Bilder heute auf deiner HP angeschaut), wie wär`s mit dem Namen "RUNA" ? Leider habe ich die Bedeutung vergessen, fand den Namen aber schon immer faszinierend.
liebe Grüsse Sascia und die haarigen Monster
