HelpHablot
So, while reading Barnaby Rudge, I couldn't help but notice that one of the illustrators was named Hablot Knight Browne. What do you think about the name Hablot? The combo Hablot Knight? And what would you pair Hablot with?

I like Knight, at least as a middle name. I don't like Hablot - I keep wanting to misread it as 'halibut', which probably just doesn't make sense, but Hablot even when I'm reading it correctly is really clunky and jarring.

Sounds like something computerized. I also think of Hale-Bopp.
I think it's awful.

How would you say the name? Does it rhyme with tablet, or sound like the Spanish word 'hablo', similar to Margot?

Interesting. Looks like it was only used three times, all in the Browne family. It seems to be a really rare family surname that had died out in the UK by the early 1800s.

It reminds me of the words Huguenot and Inkblot
I don't like it.

Hablot? There seems to be something wrong with it. It's very unattractive.
