HelpRe: Lurline
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I find it singularly lacking in silvery shimmers, I'm afraid. I've only ever known one; a Lurlyn, actually; and she was supremely forgettable and, yes, more than somewhat hickish.
Since you derive it from Lorelei, how do you pronounce it? My former classmate was, predictably, Lur + Lyn, but would Lorelei cause it to rhyme with Caroline rather than Marilyn or Josephine?

Unless your friend's name was different, the second syllable is pronounced -leen. Rhyming with Josephine. But I can't get - leen out of -lyn.
