HelpRe: Aveline
in reply to a message by ADT
I want to like Aveline, really I do. But I can't help but think of products like Vaselin and Valvoline. I should do that with Eveline too, but for some reason changing one vowel sound is enough to do the trick. So being lazy, I stick with Eveline.
I'm not sure why Aveline hasn't caught on. There are many names like that. With the popularity of "El-" names I thought it was bound to be Elsa / Elsie's turn to shine. Alas.
Perhaps it's the uncertainty about the pronunciation. I can see some people saying "-leen" and others saying, "-line." Is the first syllable a long "a" as in Ava, or a short one as in Avril / Averill? I confess I've never heard it before so I'll take your word that it's a long "a."
