Mills = A name originally given to one who worked in a mill (occupational) or lived near a mill (descriptive). Possibly from the Gaelic Milidh, meaning soldier. or Latin. Also could have originated from the Greek word for apple: milo.

I love that Mills can refer to both the miller’s daughter story AND the apple thing. Very clever.

Y’all know I’m taking this as a Pinocchio shoutout, right? 😉

Regarding the Liza debate:

Granny: For another thing, Liza, you dress like a drag queen during fleet week.
Ruby: And you dress like Norman Bates when he dresses like Norman Bates’ mother.

They were just having jabs at each other’s style, each refering to the other as a man dressed as a woman. Liza Minnelli is a gay icon, (and as hjbau said, Judy Garland was her mother. Judy was also a gay icon, one of the biggest. The term, “friend of Dorothy” for a gay man comes from her character in Wizard of Oz). Many a drag queen has glammed up to impersonate Liza Minnelli. Fleet week is when Navy ships dock and sailors go ashore to get some action. Basically, Granny was telling her she looks like something this forum’s inbuilt censor would bleep out if I actually typed the word. 😛 So when Granny hurled the drag queen jab, Ruby fired back in kind with the line about Norman Bates dressed as his mother in “Psycho”.

Found a little answer about the Blue Faerie’s Gaelic name on Once upon a Fan website

Ruel Ghorm – Scottish Gaelic (SG) for “Star Blue”.

Ruel = Star

Ghorm = Blue (or green).

Does anyone know what “Baelfire” means? It’s a very unique and powerful name. Really leaves an impression on you.

Have added a new section below SB names for FTL Names of interest 🙂

Have added your contribution sjm – Thank you & added Baelfire – although Bael on its own has a very different meaning 😉

Baelfire is Celtic Pagan meaning bonfire which is lit to burn overnight to celebrate Beltrane to welcome Spring.

It would be nice to see a backstory on the two of them.
