August and Jupiter speak either of ignorance or of deliberate gender-bending. Ira looks fem but who knows? They might have a biblical reference in mind, or it could be n the August-and-Jupiter category. I know dimity as a checked or striped cotton, good for summer dresses; and I keep thinking of the old joke about the manufacturer of synthetic fabrics who named his twin daughters Polly and Esther. I do like Francesca and Dorothy, which cheers me up. And Seaborn is quite wonderful as a lnfn; I'm glad it's a mn though.
