Discovered a new singer, Nolwenn Leroy. Not only was I struck by her music (sort of a Celtic-influenced Ingrid Michaelson meet Belle and Sebastian) I thought her name was really cool. In the US she goes by just Nolwenn. Wdyt?

Also got me thinking about Breton names (really loving Azenor and Gaelle) and how much more attractive Leroy sounds in French than American English. LEE-roy versus leh-whah. Please excuse the bad French phonetics, it's hard to put sounds into writing. Purse your lips a little at the beginning of whah, then open them.
