Well, my love of Scotland is limited to Age of Empires and Braveheart. Would **Wilma Wallace** be too esoteric?

I wonder if this works with the Scotia suggestion - Cinnamon Scotia? Or it that too much?

Sadly true, I have a highland surname (by former marriage) but my family tree is pure lowland (with some Welsh and Irish thrown in).

Hmm, Celtic Imp? 😉

There was no in joke about the cinnamon being passed down or anything. My mom had red hair, I didn’t. She dyed hers brown, I dye mine red. I joke that we just traded, that it inherited in both directions. 🙂 Of course now that we both have grays in there, nobody thinks either of ours is natural anymore, anyhoo.

And I can’t think how to twig it, but with cinnamon and scotia I think of the round, hard candies, the cinnamon ones and the butter scotch one.  
Maybe CinnaScotch?

Ah thank you! That was many years ago, probably pre-marriage 🙂

It probably sounds bigheaded, but yeah, I’m still swaying towards my own choice of Cinnamon Imp too. But I think DramQueen fits better with the punny-choices here on the board. I’ll see what other suggestions pop up before making a final decision though 🙂

Ah, gotcha.

“Cinnamon Souse” is very cute, I’ll give you that.

But with a name as original as “Argent Foxtrot”, no one will ever get you confused with anyone else 😛

Yup, it’s right up there with “even seven” as a name that would cause no confusion whatsoever here! 😉

(sorry, I did mean to address your suggestion in post 30, but apparently that was pre-coffee…)

I like DramQueen but a number of others as well.

How about **Tartan Tart**?

A new name can be fun! and I\* _like_ Tartan Tart! \>^.^\<

Yes, just send either of us an email. So far I think all of these suggestions are available. I like **Cinnamon Imp!** and **Scotitude**.

Yeh, but if she goes with **DramQueen,** you can’t blame her for drunk-posting!

Accepted readily - thanks! Was just driving through Castroville, CA and got my artichoke jones fixed.

I’ve just realised I already use Cinnamon Imp on another \*completely \* unrelated forum _coughs_ I’m not sure if that’s an incentive to use it here, or a reason to avoid it!

(and how do I wash your mugs by email btw?) 😉

Nice wordplay, **WordMan** , but I’m trying to [quit being a tart](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=651735) 😉
