Well, Ms. O., you've a nice name, too:

https://www.behindthename.com/name/ophelia

'Derived from Greek οφελος (ophelos) meaning "help". This name was probably
created by the 15th-century poet Jacopo Sannazaro for a character in his
poem 'Arcadia'...'

Here is mine, I never knew this:

https://www.behindthename.com/name/gregory

"English form of Latin Gregorius, which was from the Late Greek name
Γρηγοριος (Gregorios), derived from γρηγορος (gregoros) meaning "watchful,
alert". This name was popular among early Christians, being borne by a
number of important saints including Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (3rd
century), Saint Gregory the Illuminator (4th century), Saint Gregory of
Nyssa (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (4th century), and Saint
Gregory of Tours (6th century). It was also borne by the 6th-century pope
Saint Gregory I the Great, a reformer and Doctor of the Church, as well as
15 subsequent popes.
Due to the renown of the saints by this name, Gregory (in various spellings)
has remained common in the Christian world through the Middle Ages and to
the present day. It has been used in England since the 12th century. A
famous bearer from the modern era was American actor Gregory Peck
(1916-2003)..."

So, Ms. O., you are a "helper", and I am a "saint"...it is nice to know
you...!!!

;-)

Best
Greg
