  Avid moon watcher that I am, I must confess that I never could recognize the face of the Man in the Moon. How could anyone conceivably mistake that face; that round, profoundly gentle face, jolly and eternally indulgent; that unconditionally comforting countenance, for male? The dark marks, which define her features, are in reality…

Akis Greek name Ann Hebrew name Annegrit German name…
