A friend of mine brought the surrealist artist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun to my attention today, and I'm in love with her name.
I don't think it's a unique spelling of
Ethel although I love that it coincides with that idea. I think it might be a variation of a Welsh name (
Ithel), or maybe a surname? She was named
Margaret Ithell after her mother
Georgia Frances Ithell
Manley.
What do you think of Ithell?
