HelpAlphonse
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Because it is different and I am enjoying it. :-D I just used Alphonsine in a combo not long ago (did that happen today?) and am tickled by the idea of it making my semi-permanent list.
Ambrose is kind of tired in the context of this board. I'm definitely less thrilled with it than I might have been at one point. I did meet one in real life and I have to admit, as boring as it is here it was kind of delightful then. His surname was Tappy, which made it sound whimsical and fictional. But I think Ambrose has a lot of potential to sound self-conscious and pretentious as well, if not done right. Whatever "right" may be.
I've never been big on Anatole. For one I'm a bit unclear on its pronunciation. For another it always brings to mind anoles. You could do worse, but still. Unsure pronunciation plus lizards makes it more "thing" than "name" to me, unfortunately.
