I read it as Myrna-Leen, and thought of you as one of Morgan Le Fey’s sisters. In a positive, compliment-laden _Mists of Avalon_ type way, of course. ---

I read it in the second way, so what popped into my head was “a chemical derivative of myrrh.” Of course, I’ve taken a lot of organic chemistry. ---
