Isn't a quetzal a bird?

Jislain sounds like the action of lying on the wet-patch .

'Ghislaine' would be the proper spelling, and the S would be silent.

nigglewiggle....just spat my tea out

oh, well done math - i was about to point out that clearly the current boden mummies can't spell

quetzal, though...?

they've stopped sending me catalogues. i feel slighted in some way.

It's short for Quetzalxochitl

pingviner · 02/06/2010 00:19

but its pronounced Throat-wobbler Mangrove....

Hahahahha I was just looking at the catalogue today and thinking "really"? I'm pretty sure I just saw an article on the Quetzel guy, unless there are two male models named that. His son is Marley I believe.

nigglewiggle - my 3 and a half year old wants to know what I'm laughing at!

Yet if anyone came on here proposing those names, they'd be rounded on in the blink of an eye!

foxytocin · 02/06/2010 09:04

I see... not short for Quetzaltenango then... as in named after the place where he was conceived?

or Quetzalcoatl?

lisianthus · 02/06/2010 10:17

at nigglewiggle.

I was expecting Quetzal to be all feathery and Mayan (or Inca? [takes ignorance out and waves it about]) as I thought of Quetzalcoatal too!
