I've seen more than a couple blogs just tonight with the word iron in their names. Not only do I wish I would have thought of a clever handle with that word in it, but it's made me realize that it's one of my favorite words.
The way it's spelled, the way it looks, the way it sounds, the way it feels when I say it. I can almost taste the sharp metallic of it when I say the word iron.
I like the images it brings to my mind--a forge, pieces with a dark pewter sheen to them, weapons, tools, the cold. Somehow comforting, in its own way. I feel that way about words like whiskey and wool and wood, as well.
It pulls at something in my blood, just a little tug beneath the surface, drawn along arteries as it pulls outward, as if wanting to lead me somewhere, running back through veins as my heart gathers it all back to itself, safe and untouched by the air.
Perhaps there is a higher content inside, after all.

Now that you mention it, Rena, all the words for 'iron' I know are soft sounding. Curious.
At any rate, I like Norwood! and it does have the word 'wood' in't, so all is not lost. ;)

(It actually comes from a street sign I pass on my way to and from work every day, but shh)

I also checked a few of the languages I had back in school, all soft sounding words. But that is beautiful, don't you think? All these different languages and yet soft sounds everytime. Now, if I had any idea how to do that and some time left, I'd look a bit into etymology of the different words ;)
