Claire

Claire: Latin for “clear, bright." A Norman form of the name Clara. In the 19th century, Claire had a resurgence as a variation on Clare.


You are a Wisconsin native and cocktail aficionado. Your all time favorite cocktail is the Eau Claire Old Fashioned.

As a Wisconsinite, you are particularly fond of the Badger State’s beloved three ingredient cocktail. One of your favorite books in recent years is Robert Simonson’s “The Old Fashioned: The Story of the World’s First Classic Cocktail, With Recipes and Lore” Dating back to the 19th century, the Old Fashioned was originally a whiskey-based cocktail, but in Wisconsin Au Claire Old Fashioneds are made with brandy, fruit and Sprite, making them sweeter than in other parts of the US.

You appreciate a good story attached to classic cocktails and how it anchors human experience in fun and intriguing ways.

Another of your favorite tomes is “To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion”
by local DC lawyer, Ernest Hemingway enthusiast and cocktail connoisseur Philip Greene.

You have been delighted by the renaissance of D.C.’s regional cocktail culture. You are well known in all 14 Speakeasy Bars & Hidden Cocktail Lounges in Washington DC. They all know to make your au Claire with brandy rather than whisky.

Peter meaning stone/ rock is derived from Greek Πέτρος, Petros, which was a translation of Aramaic Kefa. Aramaic is the ancient Syrian dialect used in the area where Jesus lived. Kefa is the nickname Jesus gave to apostle Simon Bar-Jona whom Anglo Christians now refer to as a Peter.

An Old English variant of Peter is Piers. You used to fondly call your boy Piers sometimes until the British version of the US public outrage sausage machine, Rush Limbaugh — the Rupert Murdoch protege and pugnacious provocateur Piers Morgan — annoyed you one too many times. Such an unpleasant public persona hell bent on stoking public anger. So much ado about nothing. What is up with his bizarre obsession with Meghan Markle?

Now you call your beloved son Kefa as a nickname. Kefa refers to a small green stone used for purposes of divination.

You are committed to the opposite of stoking public anger but to promoting friendly good will in civilized ways.

You are a cultural Anthropologist (with undergraduate and post graduate degrees from three different continents) with a PhD from Yale in strategies for transcending cultural differences while communicating in multicultural societies.

In Washington DC, you are a highly sought after consultant in Drink culture etiquette. Many professionals working as politicians negotiating with counterparts, diplomats, lobbyists, international business people: and international trade lawyers are eager to learn your wisdom. What better way to lubricate discussions with international partners they seek to close deals with or influence positively then by sharing a drink in ways that honors their home cultures?

Some drinking etiquette is common sense but some customs are obscure and counter intuitive for most modern Americans. Your hefty fees often pay for themselves in terms of diplomatic, political and business/ trade outcomes.

You have been able to stave off international disasters by advising clients:
🇷🇺 - If someone offers you a drink in Russia, it's considered rude to turn it down so sip very slowly while Russians gulp down shots. (Preferably bring quality vodka to make sure it is not poisoned). Biden may need a stiff drink to handle upcoming talks with Putin over their aggression in Ukraine;
🇨🇳 in Chinese formal settings, always let the host start off with the first toast. While toasting, always touch glasses under the rim, this is a sign of respect and never start your imbibing until the initial toast is given, only then should you start drinking with the group. 
🇭🇺 -Don't make a toast with beer in Hungary.
🇪🇸 - In Spain, never toast with water. At each step, be sure to "clink" or touch glasses. salud!
🇫🇷 - Don't fully fill your glass with French counterparts. So gauche.
🇬🇪 🇿🇼 🇿🇦 - Be prepared for long toasts in Georgia and many parts of Africa
🇰🇿 - In Kazakhstan, try to finish your kumis without barfing.

You are currently working on formal transcendental etiquette when dealing with officials from cultures that do not officially imbibe (most of Indonesia and Middle East).

You hope for your little Kefa to become a rock of diplomatic kindness and stability in our fractured world. First, you plan on being a rock for him and letting him enjoy a normal childhood in our weird, fierce and complicated world.

Lincoln, Nolan, Savannah

Lincoln : Old English origin. The surname originates from the city of Lincoln, England, whose name means "lake/pool colony", combining the Brythonic word lynn with the Latin word colonia.
This translates to settlers by the pool or lake.

Nolan: male name of Irish origin that means Descendant Of The Famous One. From the Gaelic surname “O’Nullain,” meaning “son or descendent of the King’s herald.”

Savannah: name of Native American - Taino origin that means Open Plain. Savannah is a name of freedom and nature meaning “large, grassy plain.” She's isn't bound to one style, free to mix and mingle between name crowds with her versatile fit. Savannah brings to mind the massive flat fields of Africa and the American prairie.

You are an adventurous nature loving family who travel the US and world in a camper van. You run a blog/ vlog called “Family Van Life: living through, not in, a van”.

Your DH (retired investment banker and renaissance man) homeschools Lincoln, Nolan and Savannah while you run the family vlog and sell your family merch online, which allows other to live vicariously through you.

You have many corporate sponsors because your blog is popular with the all important demographic of educated 25-40 year olds and you look like an all American athletic healthy family who know how to enjoy life. You have been on the road for three years, and pinch yourself to enjoy such a lifestyle during the Pandemic. You mostly live outside and just sleep in the van.

Your first child Lincoln (formerly English surname/ lake settler) is named for an ancestor who was related to President Abraham Lincoln. You liked the traditional sense of family and stability it implied.

Your DH’s personal transformation from Wall St/ K St financial wizard to home school dad/ gypsy started unfolding when you were pregnant with Nolan. Both of you were starting to feel restless with the urban rat race. Nolan (descendant of the Famous One) was named for your part Irish roots and the sense of great things to come built on the past.

Your youngest much loved daughter was born after you already realized your family was destined for many road trips around the US and the world. Savannah honors the Native American interior heartlands of the USA and your dream to witness the Great Migration of zebras and wildebeest from Kenya to Tanzania in the Serengeti savannah.

Your children are receiving the education of a life time and you are making many interesting friends along the way.
