Re: Alphonse (and a side note)
in reply to a message by Array
I pronounce Alphonse with almost a soft Z at the end, so the S endings on the mn's don't bother me. I think I like Alphonse Lazarus better than Alphonse Laszlo, though the latter has some potential. And I really like Alphonse with Elias, Matthias and Thaddeus as well as Lazarus.I thought you might like Alphonse Walter!I love assonance. That's where I get ideas like Alphonse Auberon, even though Auberon does not appeal to me. Jerome the same way. Alliteration is also good, which led me to Ezra and Lazarus because of the Zs.And I have to tell you how much it completely tickles me that in 2006 an 18yo girl loves Hawkeye Pierce and finds Alan Alda a sexy beast! You just kill me, Array, I wish we could meet. You're somethin else, darlin. BTW, did you happen to see that I responded to your response to Ellemenope's (however it's spelled!) "evolution of a name list?" It's about Liese. Go see.

What can I say? I find intelligent men hot! My mother gave me his autobiography for Christmas, and I just finally finished reading it yesterday--and damn, is it hilarious. You should've seen me when the 2005 Oscars rolled around. I was so ecstatic that he'd been nominated for an Academy Award--I spent most of my time up 'til the night giggling, ha.My uncle once told me that I have the tastes of a forty-year-old. So perhaps, I'm just a middle-aged woman trapped in the body of an eighteen year old (sort of like being trapped in the body of a white girl, as Julie Brown would say).On Liese; I didn't like Leighza at first, but I have to admit it's growing on me! I like the way it looks much more than Leeza, which was the best I'd come up with before Liese and Leighza. It's something I'm going to have to consider more thoroughly, clearly--and I'll probably end up doing so when I should be writing a ten-page paper!I love assonance and alliteration, too, particularly with certain sounds. My favourite is L, but Z sounds appeal to me, too. And now that I've slept on it, Alphonse Jerome and Alphonse Matthias are in the front running.
