Well, it means dove in Spanish but also pigeon. There's the reference of Picasso's daughter but it reminds me more of the spotty faced pebbleglasses wearing whore who lived down the street from us...sorry

the jimmy saville + bird footage + jonathan king combination is jarring.

Pigeons = rats with wings .

She would always be listening to renditions of "una paloma blanca".

Sorry, I don't like it at all - and wouldn't it end up being shorted to 'Pal'(like the dogfood!)

The more I think of it, the more I like it. DH likes it, too. I think I'm going to steal it!

i was thinking it could be shortened to 'Loma'.

i doubt any of her contemporaries would have heard of some shitty 70s record.

pretty

I think that's lovely.

But Loma sounds like 'lomo', and then I'm thinking slices of ham.

Thank you, blinks.

'Loma' would be a lovely nickname.

Lovely name . I think it means dove, which ain't half bad for a name

I do remember doing a Drum Majorette routine to it in a competition though , around 1977.... (don't let that put you off, we were very good )
