Re: Elizabeth Spencer - okay to use?
in reply to a message by Kit Snicket
Never heard of the author but the name Elizabeth Spencer is so generic it doesn't stand out. (But then, Elizabeth Taylor is very generic and it definitely stands out.)
Having said that, I have to say that neither Elizabeth Beatrice or Elizabeth Spencer flow easily off the tongue; the combos are both downright spit-spraying. I'd go for something with fewer sibillants and plosives.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
