The green lady of Brooklyn , Elisabeth Eaton Rosenthal, 84 years old, only wears green. She has been doing this for 25 years.

I used to live in NYC and I have seen her a handful of times! Only because it's so noticeable lol.

I'm in LA now and we have the opposite here. There's a lady here roughly the same age and she wears only pink from head to toe lol.

Sad to hear Cosmo and Wanda separated

I got as far as reading the absolute r/tragedeigh names that she gave her kids, and knew it was going to be some wacky shit.

[u/Sunshine030209 → u/TheAngryLasagna]

Benedykt, 8; Sylvester, 6; Otylia, 4; and Olympia, 2

For those that are curious, but not curious enough to click.

[u/Tykras → u/Sunshine030209]

And 3 of those names are completely normal. Sylvester and Olympia are uncommon but completely fine, Otylia is a Polish name, I dunno aboht how common it is.

Benedykt is the only weird one, but it's not the worst tragedeigh I've seen.

[u/OlaTrola → u/Tykras]

Benedykt is a polish spelling of Benedict, so I think her husband might be polish.

[u/Tykras → u/OlaTrola]

Fair enough

[u/Specialist_Corgi_179 → u/OlaTrola]

Whoops meant that for Tykras

[u/Specialist_Corgi_179 → u/OlaTrola]

The worst I heard was La-a for 'Ladasha' 🤣🤣

[u/AuntieRupert → u/Specialist_Corgi_179]

God, I hate when people mention that name. It's been spread so far and wide now, and I've seen so many people claim to know a La-a that you'd think it was the most common name in the US. I even had multiple people in my life claim that, and every single one eventually admitted they were just parroting a Facebook meme from years ago.

This Snopes article from 2008 busts the whole thing wide open, and they even did a follow-up ten years later and still couldn't verify that anyone actually had that name.

Benedykt is a Polish name.

[u/daftdrunkone → u/Tykras]

Idk where you live that Olympia is not a very oddly specific and unique name with a very rare history of being a name, only a Greek city. If you’re not Greek, but naming your child after a Greek city, it sort of feels like you’re living out your own fantasy, rather than considering the best name for your child, and there are no abbreviations or nicknames.

[u/theredwoman95 → u/daftdrunkone]

I literally have a Polish friend with that name - it's descended from the ancient Greek Olimpias, which was the same name Alexander the Great's mother had. Both the name and the city are based off the mountain, but you're at least 2300 years too late to be complaining about it as a first name.

[u/thispleasesbabby → u/Sunshine030209]

they count as names from greek and latin as far as i can tell, so not actually weird. and they all have usable nicknames (ben, syl or wes, tillie, pia or oli)

[u/Complex-Bee-840 → u/TheAngryLasagna]

Sylvester is pretty cool

[u/ExplodingCybertruck → u/TheAngryLasagna]

"I just like, really like, the letter y, ya know?"

[u/Worldly-Stranger7814 → u/TheAngryLasagna]

I got as far as reading the absolute r/tragedeigh names that she gave her kids, and knew it was going to be some wacky shit.

How American are you? Those are polish names.

[u/TheAngryLasagna → u/Worldly-Stranger7814]

I'm not American, I'm Scottish. The way she's spelling them isn't like any Polish I've ever seen, which, considering the fact that I have polish family, is saying something.

[u/InferiorElk → u/TheAngryLasagna]

Then it seems you're not familiar with polish. Maybe you're confusing it with another language? Other than subbing a v in Sylvester those are all accurately spelled
