Re: Lyle?
in reply to a message by Felie
I was at school with a girl named Lisle, same pronunciation, who was a pretty good golfer. So that's got something of a healthy outdoor exercise vibe for me; but it was also the name of the textile that 19th century schoolgirls' long black stockings were made of, which is pretty unattractive, frankly.Lyle ... I connect it with Tate & Lyle, a company that makes sugar, treacle and golden syrup! Adjectives ... sticky, unhealthy, unattractive.
