&gt; In Portugal there is a village called Amor. That is Roma (Rome) in <br/>

&gt; Other question, is this subject of placenames also discuted in BP?<br/>

 </span></blockquote>ah francisco<br/>
here is your question i misunderstood previously in my haste<br/>
so apologies <br/>
& another try at answering it<br/>
<br/>
the subject of place names isnt really the focal topic of bp<br/>
but rather only the multipoints & our visits to them expressly are<br/>
as you probably saw or will see on the bp home page<br/>
<br/>
but we rarely keep to the express topic anyway<br/>
& anything anyone really likes is welcome here in everyones land <br/>
anyway <br/>
& we do get into names a lot just because things do have names<br/>
& if they dont have names then we often have to give them names<br/>
& also since many of us are interested in the names & meanings of <br/>
things anyway<br/>
<br/>
indeed some members are quite particular about even getting all the <br/>
accent marks in a name right too<br/>
<br/>
others like myself ponder endlessly over the true names of the <br/>
multipoints & what they might mean<br/>
just as i do over the places i find myself in<br/>
such as islamorada here<br/>
which you probably instantly realize means purple island<br/>
tho i hadnt discovered that myself til very recently<br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
but basically we are all just enjoying ourselves here<br/>
& i hope you find that understandable & comfortable<br/>
even if it is admittedly a little strange<br/>
<br/>
