Oh Steven, you are ever so insightful in what you say about titles. In my painful shyness I tend to give my works absurd and obscure titles for their abstracting and distancing qualities, as an alternative to "Untitled". I think I have already disclosed that there really is no sensible correlation between "Apotheoun" which is an old Geek word meaning deification, and "A Fair-Skinned Boy Reclining in the Noon Sun Risking a Bad Sun-Burn Upon a Concrete Pool Apron Beside His Mother's Fancy Espadrille Sandals and Well-Tanned Legs in June, 1981, During a Church Picnic Outing".
My daughter has the fortune of being named "Lachlan" which is equally unpronounceable, and not even a previously known girl's name. It may be unique. Imagine my horror when the receptionist at the pediatrician's office once called out "Latch-Lane"!
She loves her name and wears it well, though.
Thanks for your wise insight and advice.
Garth (even my name was endlessly corrupted and tripped over until Garth Brooks came along).
