juni take the first two or three letters out of each of your names and see what you can make out of that. e.g. Juniper + George + Kate + Peter = Ju Ge Ka Pe ....Kapejuge or Jewpackage or.... ok maybe not

Zippy and Wolf got it, but I don't think Skysidhe did.

Arbeit Macht Frei is German for "Work will make you free"; it was the sign over the gate of Auschwitz concentration/extermination camp to help trick the victims into behaving.
Maybe Sky reads some pretty grim books.

Well Jerry Pournelle, writer and columnist, wrote from Chaos Manor. I always liked that so our family newsletters occasionally come from Muddle House. And I once used Lesser Grumblings for something else.

I love it so much I need to steal it and say place where sticky rollers meets flying cat fir.

*musing*
I don't know. I've got a sticky roller in one hand and a cat brush in the other seems. They take over my bed, they try to trip me in the hall. * sigh *

In rural New England, a house is generally know by the name of the previous owner.
So Jones buys a house from Smith, and lives there for 50 years... it's still the Smith place. When he sells the house, it becomes the Jones place. Sounds strange, but you know what, it works.
