I'm with Peter on this one . I like what it means, but it's a mouthfull. Especially if she's of English heritage. I can't imagine a Lubamira Smith or Lubamira Wellington or something like that. OTOH, it ~could~ work if her surname is East European. Lubamira Kasparov would work... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
