Help[Opinions] Re: Avonlea
in reply to a message by A
I think the books / show are so familiar that it refers to them too strongly to make a good personal name.
JMO, though. It'd be decent and nice, and it is romantic & pretty - just sort of imitate-y. No biggie, I bet she'd get compliments.
I don't think people would mispronounce it and if they did ... so what. Just correct 'em. "It's AV-on-lee, like the place in the story" People have to correct name pronunciations all the time but you generally only have to do it once per person.
