...who has never thought of the word "harlot" when hearing Harlow?
I know they sound very similar, of course, but my mind never goes there. I just think of Jean Harlow.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

YOU’VE RUINED CHARLOTTE!! Haha. I somehow NEVER noticed the “harlot”, and now that’s all I hear, haha.

I've got half the story and can't be bothered to get the other half, which isn't that relevant anyway.
Jean Harlow. Blonde bombshell, and let us say, unsubtle. Being introduced to an Englishwoman (probably Margot Asquith I suppose), she pronounced the t: MargoT. And was icily corrected: "The T is silent, as in Harlowe!"

how many people even say that word anymore????
there are so many words people worry about names sounding like, but they're often words no one uses/thinks about anymore...
if it sounded like wh***, that'd be another story.

Finally, someone who agrees with me! I was starting to lose faith with all these Harper-bc-Harlow-sounds-like-harlot choices! I mean, it's true, but I still like Harlow!

Not many people say it, but everyone has heard it. Or more likely, read it. And everyone knows what it means.

Me either, haha. I think it's why I still like Harlow.

I never made the connection either. Scarlett does it for me, though.

No, Harlow sounding like harlot never occurred to me either. I just think it sounds like marlowe, and rather masculine.

I didn't think anybody used the word "harlot" anymore. It's kind of outdated. I don't immediately think of it either.
