| Hi,
I just logged into this notes file to see what it was about. So
far I've found it to be extremely interesting. My daughter's name
is Brittany Michele and I'm surprised that it's origin is English,
because the first time I heard it (which is when I decide I loved
it) was in North Dakota in a primarily Scandinavian culture.
Thanks for the information.

| My dictionary (Dunkling and Gosling) agrees with .2. BTW,
Brittany is really starting to go off the top of the
popularity charts these days -- you don't want your
daughter to enter first grade with a class full of Brittanies.
