I don’t think of Ivan as Welsh - more Russian. Are you sure your not thinking of Ivor?

Or Efan, maybe?

Oh, well I thought it was related to Ivor (I realise it’s just another one in the John/Jan/Ian/Sean family). Guess I was wrong. The only Ivan I know is South African, actually.

I could see Sonata for a girl–it means a pretty piece of music to me. Like Condoleeza But googling, apparently Sonata is also a sleep med. First one of my former favorites, Allegra, and now this.

That’s easy: David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls. Hah!
