I simply don't like it, I'm afraid. I find it unattractive in appearance and sound, and the meaning doesn't do much for me.On the other hand, it's very literary--besides Horace, someone named Brown certainly must've liked it. You see, there's a wonderful poem by William Ernest Henley called "The Ballade of Ladies' Names," in which the poet talks about how all names are inferior to Anna. He bases his conclusions off literary references, most of them rather obscure at this point. It starts out with the line "Brown is for Lalage, Jones for Lelia," and while I have yet to discover who Brown was and what work he used Lalage in, I'm working on it. ;) If you like it, you like it. I think it's one that could work; I just have no desire to make it work for myself (or Tim Gunn).Array
